Detailed explanation-1: -Lafayette was assigned to serve on Washington’s staff. Lafayette, one of the richest young men in France, left his home country on March 25, 1777, filled with desire to fight against the British in the American Revolution.
Detailed explanation-2: -For Lafayette, there was no better person to receive the symbol of the end of ancient tyranny than the man who fought so bravely to establish the United States.
