Marquis de Lafayette

The Marquis de Lafayette of France. I love traveling, Yorktown is my favorite place to visit.

Now that I finally have some peace in my life, I intend to embark upon a grand tour of the United States!!! Au Revoir to all my French peers. This has been a rough few decades but we made it through. See you soon @georgeWashington #frOSU18

[Marquis de Lafayette @Gil_Lafayette]

I've noticed a prevailing anxiety that even St. Helena will not prove a secure enough "prison" to keep Napoleon away. I truly believe that the South Atlantic Ocean will be far enough from France. Our chaotic nation should finally see some peace in its future #Blaufarb #frOSU18

Disappointed that Napoleon somehow managed to regain his power in France. Last week, he offered me a position in his new government YET AGAIN and of course, I blatantly denied him. I cannot serve such a corrupt man #frOSU18

[Marquis de Lafayette @Gil_Lafayette]

@antoinepjmbarn I completely agree. However, I worry that exiling him to the Island of Elba is not nearly a severe enough punishment. He might easily escape and return to the France. After all, some people still support him. #frOSU18

[Marquis de Lafayette @Gil_Lafayette]

I must say that I am extremely pleased with the French people and their decision to remove Napoleon from power and restore a constitutional monarchy with King Louis XVIII. I think this will ultimately lead to better times and greater prosperity! #frOSU18

[Marquis de Lafayette @Gil_Lafayette]

I agree! This implemented change will do nothing but stir the pot. While I’m all for pushing against our enemies this is a poor decision. Napoleon would be wise to remember this as it has led to disaster. #frOSU18 https://t.co/gDSIVe4qos

[Marquis de Lafayette @Gil_Lafayette]

France needs to reestablish and pursue a better government for our people. Napoleon’s leadership and policies are devastating our people and costing us lives. It is time for action. #frOSU18 https://t.co/ykJ8JXtkoa

@GeorgesJacques6 @Gil_Lafayette Despotism is right! Napoleon has managed to consolidate his power, these "checks and balances" set in place seem to be lip service instead of being able to keep his power in line. #frOSU18

[Marquis de Lafayette @Gil_Lafayette]

I have now heard word of the devastating loss our country's military has endured during Napoleon's fruitless endeavor to overtake Moscow. Can't the French people now begin to see how misguided this man's leadership is? He has led our soldiers to disaster. #Frosu18

[Marquis de Lafayette @Gil_Lafayette]

I recently heard the French officer J. Planat De La Faye state that Napoleon's exploits in Russia ended catastrophically. Finally, the first step to an end in this undemocratic tyranny. It was about time that Napoleon learned he cannot continue winning forever #blaufarb #frOSU18

[Marquis de Lafayette @Gil_Lafayette]

Last night, Napoleon was crowned emperor of France. My people, do you not see the hypocrisy in your own complacency in the matter? You are placing your freedoms within the power of one single man who it will be practically impossible to overthrow #frOSU18

[Marquis de Lafayette @Gil_Lafayette]

Though I do appreciate that Napoleon restored my citizenship, I believe that he remains corrupt. I refuse for France to fall under a non-democratic government. France is heading towards dictatorship. THIS AUTHORITY DOES NOT CATER TO FREEDOM FOR OUR PEOPLE #frOSU18

[Marquis de Lafayette @Gil_Lafayette]

While Napoleon’s invasion of Egypt continues to intrigue me, I am hesitant to support a mission that doesn’t directly help the French solve any of our current country-side issues. While I am proud of our expansion, I caution these exploits. #frOSU18 #Blaufarb

[Marquis de Lafayette @Gil_Lafayette]

I do truly find Napoleon's military efforts intriguing. However, his charismatic plan to conquer Cairo while simultaneously respecting the culture and will of its common people is ambitious. Not my problem though, as I intend to stay out of politics for a while #blaufarb #frOSU18

[Marquis de Lafayette @Gil_Lafayette]

Well put! As I have said before “Bonaparte thinks only of his own ambition, and until now has not found glory in serving liberty”. I fear this may lead to future problems within France. #frOSU18 #forrest https://t.co/ZZsMqDEz7w

[Ghost Antoine-Pierre-Joseph-Marie Barnave @antoinepjmbarn]

Though I have no doubt Napoleon will stabilize France's government, it remains to be seen if his administration will be driven more by his selfish personal ambition and desire for empire, or the progressive enlightenment ideals of his loyal followers. #Forrest #frOSU18

[Marquis de Lafayette @Gil_Lafayette]

Although I greatly appreciate Bonaparte’s efforts to secure my family's and my release, I am unconvinced of his true nature and will not be swayed into participating in this new government. #frOSU18

[Marquis de Lafayette @Gil_Lafayette]

Thanks to the heroic efforts of General Bonaparte, on this early 1797 morning, my family and I were finally released from several years of imprisonment. We intend to find refuge with the American consul in Hamburg. #frOSU18

[Marquis de Lafayette @Gil_Lafayette]

I have been in contact with the American minister in the Hague: William Short. he claims he might find a way to secure my release from the Prussians. I truly hope he can find a way to reunite me with my country and my family #frOSU18

[Marquis de Lafayette @Gil_Lafayette]

@realKingLouis16 Oh the ever-missed Ghost of @realKingLouis16, the French Republic has descended into chaotic hypocrisy since you died. You are not the only one who sees the self-contradictory facets of Roberspierre's speech. I miss you. #frOSU18

[Marquis de Lafayette @Gil_Lafayette]

The "Law on Suspects" just proves that France has now entered a period of the very radicalism I warned against. This law allows the Republic to arrest any man they please with very little evidence. How can you people not see the corruption in these "liberties??"#mason #frOSU18

[Marquis de Lafayette @Gil_Lafayette]

It feels as though only moments ago Robespierre stood in front of the Convention and argued against the death penalty. Today, I hear, he inflicts terror upon all of France, as he executes every supposed "traitor." Could it be the same Robespierre?? #frOSU18
