Haym (Chaim) Salomon was a Polish-born Jewish businessman and political
financial broker, who along with English-born Robert Morris, was a prime
financier of the rebel American side during the American Revolution. Having
immigrated to New York City from Poland, Salomon aided the Continental Army and
helped convert French loans into ready cash by selling bills of exchange for
Morris, the Superintendent of Finance.
