He is important because he led a victorious end to the American revolution. He also was called a double spy because he would tell different information to the Americans and Britain's. Of course he would tell the correct information to the Americans and give the false info to the British but he was a very important person

The Marquis de La Fayette (his full name was Marie-Joseph Paul Yves Roch Gilbert du Motie) was a general from France who served under George Washington in the American Revolution. In the middle of the war, he negotiated France's increased commitment to the Revolution, which was key to the success of the rebellion. He then returned to America, and blocked troops led by British General Cornwallis at Yorktown while the armies of Washington prepared for battle against the British.
