This is someone I wanted to know more about for so long.I think This was the best explanation of such a great man, leader in our history not just as country's but as people. Thank you for the upload
I think its so cool that during World War II a group of American soldiers went to Lafayette's grave and told him "Lafayette, we are here!". Very moving 🇺🇸❤️
Thank you to everyone who made this possible, and of course a thank you to Mark. This was not only incredibly informative, but enjoyable as well! Thanks again, and please take care and be well!
Vive la France and god bless the United States of America. Lafayette is one of greatest general of the American revolutionary wars without a shadow of a doubt.
36:16 The first city named for LaFayette is Fayetteville, NC. When he visited on his farewell tour, all the people of the Cape Fear region came out dressed to the nines & lined the street for hours in the pouring rain to give him a heroes welcome. He was greeted by the Fayetteville Light Infantry & a compatriot from the war. He partied all night with the Masons & French Mary, a black, creole woman who was the chef & only one in town who spoke French. We owe him a lot of thanks for our current freedoms.
Great story thank you. My great ancestor created these militia Brig. Gen. William lee Davidson he died gathering troops to allow Gen. Greene to escape to set up for the turning of the tide. These people were amazing and beyond interesting. A beacon to live as and incomparable in measure of a man's life. In facebook there's a kings mountain ranger most underrated back wood patriot series that has Brig Gen Davidson as that holder great short story lecture about the time if interested. Much love guys and thanks for the story's from the time
Wonderful La Fayette , what an adventure going to America on the Hermione and getting fully involved, very bravely, for the cause of the Patriots ! The letters from and to La Fayette sound very interesting . This concise biography looks very good .
Once I read that there are more than 40 towns, counties and cities all over the US with the name LAFAYETTE.....A true hero...in other times he would have been granted citizenship and a military medal (I dont know if that is possible),,,,,but very brave and young.....SALUT LAFAYETTE!!!
The french have a saying per la sang by spilled blood. If you spill your blood for france you are per la sang french. In his opening battles he was shot in the leg and regrouped fleeing scared farmers to march off the battle field. This action leads the way for his amazing life story even as a young nobel wealth beyond belief and he come to aid in freedom for Man. Simply amazing.
I decided to do a presentation on Lafayette for school, because, of what little I knew about him, I knew he was an amazing man and had done amazing things. I am definitely using this book to help me
When many Americans ask why we support Ukraine’s fight for freedom, I think it’s important to remind them that we owe our very existence as a free country to Lafayette. The critical importance of alliances is another lesson in leadership we get from our Marquis.
When Lafayette was in Cincinnati in 1824, an old woman approached him asking "Do you remember me?" or "Don't you remember me?" It turned out she had been the milkmaid who slipped him secret messages in prison in Austria. David Huber UN
Good lecture, one small errors he said near Metz Germany by then Metz was absorbed by the french Kingdom. the city became completely french under Louis XIV. Germany as country did not exist before 1871.
Strongly agree, Lafayette accomplished part of his military training in Metz. He came here in 1775 he was then a young captain,. It was during his stay that he decided to take part in the American revolution. I am from Metz.
Aid of various sorts and loans given but other than the Marquis the value is often debated. Funded would be to grand a term. Certainly there was aid late.

Outstanding, well said !!!! A true patriot!!
I enjoy listening to the documentation films then listening to The history experts fill in the gaps of the true and total history.
