What general from the American Revolutionary War's activities were reported by Marquis de Lafayette?
James Armistead Lafayette James Armistead Lafayette (December 10, 1760 – August 9, 1830) was an enslaved African American who served the Continental Army during the American Revolutionary War under the Marquis de Lafayette. As a double agent, he was responsible for reporting the activities of Benedict Arnold – after he had defected to the British – and Lord Cornwallis during the run-up to the Battle of Yorktown. He fed them false information while disclosing very accurate and detailed accounts to the Americans.
George Washington in the French and Indian War George Washington (February 22, 1732 – December 14, 1799) commanded the Continental Army in the American Revolutionary War (1775–1783), and was the first President of the United States, serving from 1789 to 1797. Because of his central role in the founding of the United States, Washington is often called the "Father of his Country". His devotion to republicanism and civic virtue made him an exemplary figure among early American politicians.
