@constitutingamerica: Most Americans forget that France showed up when it mattered most. France did not just cheer from the sidelines. They sent money. They sent soldiers. They sent their navy. The man who helped make that alliance possible was the Marquis de Lafayette. Janine Turner wanted this episode to show what most history books gloss over. The French contribution was not a footnote. It was a turning point. Lafayette became a bridge between two nations and two revolutions. Washington trusted him deeply, and Lafayette admired him just as much. When America’s Revolution was won, Lafayette went home and carried those same ideals into France. Some people change the course of history twice. The Pursuit is a vertical series written, directed, and starring Janine Turner for Constituting America, featuring the Founding Fathers and Mothers who shaped the nation. Their stories. Their decisions. Their courage. New episodes release weekly through July 4 in honor of America’s 250th anniversary. #ThePursuit #ConstitutingAmerica
