Answer:

Lafayette might have seen the extent to which slavery was practiced.

Explanation:

Marquis de Lafayette was a French military officer who commanded American troops during the America Revolutionary War, and returned back to France after the war.

On the invitation of President James Monroe and the United States Congress, Lafayette came back to the United States in 1824 to celebrate its upcoming 50th anniversary.
