Only 19, he was fundamental in America's victory in the Revolution: he was a REBEL WITH A CAUSE...
Gilbert du Motier's portrait of the Marquis de Lafayette. Only 19 years old when he arrived in what would be America, he offered his services. After some hesitation, the men in power were convinced by Ben Franklin that the youth had contacts that would be helpful. Helpful was an understatement. It is my opinion, in light of all that he did, his presence in our nation at the time was Divine.
He became Washington's right-hand man and was eventually advanced to the rank of General in the United States Army. He was only 19 when he stepped foot on American soil, he made a very positive difference in our nation's history. There are some who say that "...without his help, American would not have won the Revolutionary War." Read about this young man and decide for yourself.
