Book excerpt: Excerpt from Silas Deane: A Connecticut Leader in the American Revolution The reasons for a book on Silas Deane are in the following facts: he was prominent and influential in the movements leading to the Revolution; he was on important committees in the First and Second Continental Congresses; he was our first agent to France for the Insurgents; he forwarded military supplies, indispensable at Saratoga; he commissioned Lafayette, De Kalb, and Steuben; he served as Commissioner with Franklin and Arthur Lee, with whom he arranged and signed the treaties with Prance; unjustly recalled, he suffered for years from false and malicious charges; reduced to poverty and misery, he died when embarking on a new enterprise; fifty years later, Congress vindicated his memory from the charge of embezzlement; his life was woven in with critical events; his career was checkered; the mistake of his life was serious, the sufferings extreme, the fate - a dramatic close of the career of one of the most efficient of the men of the Revolution.

Download or read book Silas Deane, Revolutionary War Diplomat and Politician written by Milton C. Van Vlack and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2013-05-07 with total page 243 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Silas Deane was the victim of one of the most vicious character assassination conspiracies ever carried out in the Revolutionary War era. Even after almost two and a half centuries, he remains in the eyes of many modern historians, "worse than Arnold," his boyhood friend. This is very wrong. Because Deane was such a capable individual in his endeavors very early in the war, he became the political target of envious others with quite different abilities and philosophies. Even so, his political strength kept growing and in 1776 Congress appointed him America's first secret agent to secure military supplies from France for Washington's army. This biography is written on the man himself and on the malicious and largely successful lies and intrigues by his rivals. The work does not downplay the contributions of his contemporaries, especially those of his close friend throughout, Benjamin Franklin, but shows exactly where specific credit should be placed. A lot of credit for the new nation's success belongs to him.

Download or read book Spies of Revolutionary Connecticut written by Mark Allen Baker and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2014-02-11 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Discover true stories of daring and deceit in 18th century Connecticut in this history of American Revolutionary espionage. Covert intelligence played a critical role in the American Revolution, and Connecticut produced an extraordinary number of spies on both sides of the conflict. The infamous traitor Benedict Arnold was born in Norwich, while the Patriot Nathan Hale, who was executed by the British for espionage, was originally from Coventry. Spying during the Revolution entailed false identities, coded messages, and the penalty of death for those caught in the act. It also involved new technologies like early submarines with the first exploding torpedoes. Despite the risk, some spies even played both sides as double agents, such as Edward Bancroft, who was never caught. With stories of Silas Deane, Ethan Allen, Thomas Knowlton, the Culper Spy Ring, and others, author Mark Allen Baker navigates the intrigues, dangers, and double crosses of Connecticut’s most legendary Revolutionary spies.

The American Revolution? The War for Independence? The American Counter-Revolution? The English saw the period as a true revolution, and so did the colonial loyalists. The Patriot Party saw it as a war for colonial independence and a return to traditional English liberties.
