  • Marquis de Lafayette

    Fought in American revolution, key figure in French.

    Born into aristocracy them said fuck that let’s go see what liberty is about. Tried his best even through events spun out of control. Always stuck up for the people despite his position.

    Abolitionist. Tried to get Washington to free slaves as example, left Lafayette on read.

    “If I had known that by fighting for America I was creating a nation of slaves, I would have never raised my sword.” - butchered to a certain degree but sentiment remains.

    Guy was pretty neat, found himself in some of the most important events I’m history and stuck to his ideals his whole life. Admirable.
