APPOINTMENT FOR PEACE ON THIS DAY IN 1779

See the source image
John Adams Jr. (October 30, 1735 – July 4, 1826)

 

On September 27, 1779, the Continental Congress appointed John
Adams
to travel to France as minister plenipotentiary in charge
of negotiating treaties of peace and commerce with Great Britain
during the
Revolutionary War.

Adams had traveled to Paris in 1778 to negotiate an alliance with
France, but had been unceremoniously dismissed when Congress
chose
Benjamin Franklin as sole commissioner. 

After returning to Massachusetts in mid-1779, Adams was elected
as a delegate to the state convention to draw up a new constitution;
he was involved in these duties when he learned of the diplomatic
commission.
