Final Jeopardy Answer for September 12

The correct answer for Final Jeopardy on September 12, 2024 is “Who was the Marquis de Lafayette?”

James Monroe, who was the US president from 1817 to 1825, invited Marquis de Lafayette as a “Guest of the Nation” in 1824. This was more than 40 years after the end of the Revolutionary War, so he wanted to remind the American people of the country’s struggle for independence by extending an invitation to a surviving general of the war.

During his 13-month tour around the United States, Lafayette visited all 24 states and was hosted by Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, John Adams, and future presidents Andrew Jackson and John Quincy Adams. Lafayette is commonly nicknamed as “The Hero of the Two Worlds” for his service to both France and the United States. Actor Daveed Diggs also played Lafayette in the original Broadway production of Hamilton.
