| Summary | "The Diplomatic Correspondence of the American Revolution, Vol. 12" by Jared Sparks is a historical compilation published in the early 19th century. This volume presents a collection of letters exchanged by key figures such as Benjamin Franklin, John Adams, and Robert Morris, who were instrumental in shaping the foreign relations of the United States during the Revolutionary War. The primary focus of this work is to illuminate the diplomatic efforts undertaken by these American revolutionaries to secure support and recognition from foreign allies, particularly France. The opening of this volume sets the stage by establishing the context of financial and diplomatic negotiations during the latter stages of the American Revolutionary War. It captures Robert Morris's correspondence with various officials, including French Minister M. de la Luzerne, where he emphasizes the increasing financial strains on the fledgling nation and the essential role of foreign aid in securing American independence. His letters convey urgency in addressing the necessity for taxation, the challenges posed by the depreciation of paper currency, and the importance of establishing public credit, in addition to his gratitude for past assistance from France as the conflict escalated toward victory. Overall, this initial portion lays a foundation for understanding the complexities of international diplomacy and finance that characterized this critical period in American history.
