Creation of The Army of Naples
The French lost 600 men in the fight for Naples. Napolitan losses were also substantial. Taking Naples, the French captured 60 cannons, 6 flags, and 4,000 Albanese and Swiss troops who had remained in Naples after the dispersion of the Napolitan army. The French army received the Title Army of Naples from its general in a ceremony on January 25. A Te Deum was sung in all the churches and the general in chief gave a proclamation calling all Napolitans to freedom and reassuring them of the benevolence of the French government.

“In one notable instance, where the United States Army and a hundred years of persuasion failed, a highway has succeeded. The Seminole Indians surrendered to the Tamiami Trail. From the Everglades the remnants of this race emerged, soon after the trail was built, to set up their palm-thatched villages along the road and to hoist tribal flags as a lure to passing motorists.”
