In the quest for independence: The 17th Light Dragoons (New Lancers) ride into America in 1775, as depicted in 'Harpers Young People' from 1889. France joins forces - with King Louis XVI signing the alliance on February 6, 1778. General Washington, a true patriot and leader, engraved after an original painting that belongs to his legacy. George III's portrait by Allan Ramsay reminds us of the opposing force during this pivotal time. George Washington knew no glory but his country's good; he dedicated himself to the cause of freedom. The Marquis de Lafayette, both a French general and politician, played a crucial role in supporting American independence. His portraits by J. Court and at Musee Carnavalet capture his influential presence. Thomas Jefferson, an exceptional political writer and thinker, is portrayed by Peale Rembrandt and known for shaping America's future with his ideas. Stamp Act leader Patrick Henry stands tall as an American Revolutionary figure who fought against unjust colonial duties. These historical hints paint a picture of determination and unity during the struggle for independence in the United States. From brave soldiers like the New Lancers to international alliances forged with France's support under King Louis XVI's signature – every individual played their part. The road to freedom was paved with sacrifice and unwavering commitment from leaders like General Washington and Lafayette – individuals who put their nation above personal gain or glory. Let us remember these heroes who fought not only for themselves but also for future generations' rights to life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness.
