Lafayette wanted to become a soldier, but with no wars in France, he
sailed to America in 1777 to join the American Revolution (1775-1783)
and fight for independence against England. Believing the war reflected
his principles, he volunteered despite lacking combat experience.
General George Washington took him under his wing. Lafayette served as
the go between between France and the Americans, working to secure
supplies, money, and troops to aid the Revolutionary Army.Mounted
General George Washington.
After earning the respect of American
generals, Lafayette was given greater responsibilities and eventually
was given command of American troops. Seeing how poorly they were
supplied, he used his personal fortune to provide support.
By
1780, Major General Lafayette commanded nearly 2,200 troops and served
as France's official representative to the American army. His success in
securing French reinforcements was pivotal to the American victory at
the Battle of Yorktown.
