Summary "The Diplomatic Correspondence of the American Revolution, Vol. 01" by Jared Sparks is a historical account published in the early 19th century. This collection compiles letters from key figures of the American Revolution, such as Benjamin Franklin, John Adams, and John Jay, detailing their communications concerning the foreign relations of the United States during this pivotal period. The correspondence chronicles attempts to garner support from foreign powers, particularly France, as America sought independence from British rule. At the start of this volume, the correspondence focuses primarily on Silas Deane's mission to France, where he acts as a political and commercial agent for the American Congress. The opening letters describe Deane's activities and correspondences with French officials, detailing his initial strategies for procuring military supplies and negotiating support for the colonies. Deane's observations on the political climate in Europe and the complex dynamics of diplomacy during the revolution are revealed, setting the stage for the impactful relations that would define the revolutionary cause.
