All she has to do is walk half a block out of the White House and look at the statue in Lafayette Square to find out something about his history. For some reason the US Congress decided to put up a statue of some random Frenchman there.
It's more than that. There is quite literally something named after Lafayette in every single state in the country. A town/city, a park, a square, a street, something. He's arguably one of our founding fathers too. Basically created the US army lol(not literally, but is the one who got it running right).
