| Summary | "The Diplomatic Correspondence of the American Revolution, Vol. 11" by Jared Sparks is a historical account written in the early 19th century. This volume is a compilation of letters exchanged by key figures during the American Revolution, such as Benjamin Franklin, John Adams, and various French ministers, focusing on the foreign relations and diplomatic interactions of the United States during that formative period. It provides insight into the complexities of diplomacy and the relationships that were crucial for the survival and success of the American cause. The opening of this volume sets the stage with communications from the French Minister, C. A. de la Luzerne, to the President of Congress in 1781, specifically detailing the needs for Congress to act on diplomatic matters and the strategies related to the mediation efforts in the ongoing conflict with Great Britain. Early letters reveal concerns about the American states' responses to European diplomatic overtures, indicating the importance of unified action among the states and the need for strong leadership. The correspondence reflects the intertwining of military and diplomatic efforts aimed at achieving independence from British rule, as well as the ongoing relationship with France, highlighting the reliance on French support while navigating the challenges of asserting American sovereignty.
