DAR:Reviving the Memory of Our Marquis-America Celebrates the 250th Birthday of Marquis de Lafayette
His decision went against his family’s and his country’s wishes, but it turned out to be a fortuitous one for the Patriots. Lafayette played a key role in securing America’s independence from England and won the hearts of Americans, who would lovingly refer to the Frenchman as “our marquis” long after he returned home. But while some worry that the marquis has faded from modern America’s consciousness, his admirers hoped to revive Lafayette’s memory with events surrounding his 250th birthday. The international celebration focusied the spotlight on one of the most revered heroes of the American Revol

DAR: Alexander Hamilton’s Controversial Vision of American Greatness
In the earliest years of the U.S. government, the man whom many considered the second-most powerful man in the nation was neither a landowning Southern gentleman nor an experienced Northern statesman. Instead, the unofficial title belonged to Caribbean-born Alexander Hamilton. His career followed a steep trajectory as he progressed from George Washington’s trusted aide-de-camp to co-author of the Federalist Papers to the first Secretary of the Treasury. This ascent from obscurity to an intensive involvement in the formation of the new government provoked discord.

Others served as orderlies, cooks and servants. They also served as combat soldiers in both the British army and in bands of Loyalist irregulars.
