Summary "The Diplomatic Correspondence of the American Revolution, Vol. 03" by Jared Sparks is a historical account published in the early 19th century. This volume compiles important letters from significant figures like Benjamin Franklin, John Adams, and John Jay, detailing their communications regarding the foreign relations of the United States during the American Revolutionary War. The text serves as a rich primary source, offering readers insights into the diplomatic strategies and international relations essential to the revolution's outcome. The opening of this volume introduces the letters exchanged between Franklin and members of Congress, as well as various foreign dignitaries. It highlights Franklin's journey to France, establishing his role as a commissioner and the importance of securing military support. The correspondence not only discusses military supplies being sent to America but also the urgency of formal alliances with foreign powers like France and Spain. Franklin expresses hope and caution in navigating these diplomatic waters, underscoring the precarious position of the American cause amid ongoing conflict. This introduction sets the stage for a deeper exploration of the Revolution's diplomatic history, revealing the complexities of international relations at a critical time.
