| Lafayette: US Citizen.
In late July 2002, the US Congress voted to make Lafayette an honorary
Citizen of the United States. This particular honor places Lafayette
among only five others who were similarly honored: Winston Churchill,
Mother Teresa, Raoul Wallenberg, and Pennsylvania founder William Penn
and his wife Hannah. While this dignity signals a collective twenty-first century awareness of Lafayette's contribution to the Nation, historians are reminded that Lafayette had already been made a citizen of Maryland (1785) and of New York City (1784). Therefor, Lafayette effectively became a US Citizen when Maryland became a state in the formation of the new ‘United States'. This issue is addressed in Louis Gottschalk's Lafayette Between the American and French Revolution (1950); Appendix III and pages 145-47 of the main text. |
