This resolution commemorates the significant historical visit of the Marquis de Lafayette, who toured the United States in 1824-1825 at the invitation of President James Monroe, celebrating the nation's fiftieth anniversary. Lafayette's journey included a notable stop in South Carolina, where he visited several cities, including Cheraw, Camden, Columbia, Charleston, Edisto, and Beaufort.
