Question

How did the Marquis de Lafayette and Baron von Steuben play similar roles in the American Revolution?

Answer 1

Answer:

C

Explanation:

A is wrong because they didn´t raise any money (at least M. de Lafayette didn´t) for the Continental army.

B is out of the question because M. de Lafayette, as a Frenchman, wasn´t very keen on English kings.

D When George Washington had his first military victory at Trenton, Lafayette didn´t form part of the Continental army yet.

As Baron von Steuben was a Prusian officer credited for teaching the Continental Army the essentials of military drills, we can safely presume that C is the correct answer

Answer:

C) Both helped Washington strengthen the Continental army.

Both leaders served in the Continental army with distinction during the American revolutionary war and help to strengthen George Washington army during the darkest days of the American revolutionary war. They provided tactical leadership and securing vital resources and also help in supply of food and clothing to the American troops during the war. They both helped George Washington prepare and train the continental army appropriately and brought more knowledge, bravery, discipline and training to the American troops.

With this, we can presume or infer that they both helped in strengthening the continental army
