@markadams7046 11 ай бұрын
My great-great-grandfather had the middle name "Lafeyette". I'm guessing it was because he was born in pre-Civil War America at a time when Lafeyette was so popular he was like a rock superstar, so I figure that was probably why he was given the name.

Fun fact, when you really think about it, George Washington technically killed Lafayettes dad, as Washington was involved in the incident that started the French and Indian War, which was part of the imperial conflict between Britain and France known as the Seven Years War. So the fact that the two of them not only worked together, but that Lafayette was strongly admired him as a leader and in some cases as a father figure is wild.

It's noted in one of the books about him that when Lafayette lost his father, it was in a invading battle - meaning that Lafayette 'did not even have the comfort of knowing [his father] died an honorable death.' Some people think this could be wear his *particularly* bright burning hatred of authoritarianism came from, because a king ordered all of that.

@@DrawnofHistory I was going to ask about that too. Speaking of Mike Duncan and European volunteer officers in the Continental Army, in episode 3.40 'The Frozen Rivers' of his Revolutions podcast Dunkan spoke about the often-overlooked importance of the Kościuszko Uprising in Poland for the course of the French Revolution and admitted that he should have already talked about Kościuszko when covering the American Revolution. He even said that he's considering making a special supplemental episode about Tadeusz Kościuszko but never did in the end.

No. What you're regurgitating is the old version of facts that Americans use to avoid acknowledging France's leading role in giving the USA its independence. Just check out what the French Philosophers were publishing years before the American revolution, and think about Beaumarchais' role in equipping the US troops with guns and uniforms (ever grasped why these uniforms were... blue?).
