As we celebrate July 4th, let’s remember Haym Salomon, the financial mastermind who bankrolled the American Revolution and secured our independence.

Born in Poland in 1740, Salomon honed his skills in finance and languages across Europe before settling in New York City in 1772. A savvy broker, he amassed wealth trading foreign securities and threw his support behind the patriot cause, joining the Sons of Liberty.

In 1776, the British arrested him for spying—a capital offense. His linguistic prowess spared him, and he was pressed into service as an interpreter for Hessian mercenaries. Covertly, Salomon persuaded 500 Hessians to defect to the American side and orchestrated a prisoner escape in 1777.

Recaptured and sentenced to death, he escaped again, fleeing to Philadelphia, the rebel stronghold. There, he married Rachel Franks, whose brother served under Washington, and became a key figure in the city’s Jewish community, co-founding Congregation Mikveh Israel.

His brokerage business flourished, and he was named paymaster general for French forces aiding the Americans. Salomon’s true legacy was his financial lifeline to the Revolution. He raised over $650,000—roughly $374 million today—to fund Washington’s army.

In 1781, with British General Cornwallis trapped at Yorktown, Washington’s troops were unpaid, starving, and near mutiny. Needing $20,000 to deliver the decisive blow, Washington ordered his treasurer to “send for Haym Salomon.” Through relentless fundraising and personal guarantees, Salomon secured the funds, enabling the victory that ended the war.

Post-war, neither the government nor private lenders repaid him. Salomon died in 1785 at age 44, penniless, leaving his family destitute.

His obituary in the Philadelphia Gazetteer praised his integrity and generosity: “Thursday, last, expired, after a lingering illness, Mr. Haym Salomon, an eminent broker of this city, was a native of Poland, and of the Hebrew nation. He was remarkable for his skill and integrity in his profession, and for his generous and humane deportment.”

This Independence Day, let’s honor Haym Salomon—the financier of The American Revolution!

Just a reminder that Everton immediately suspended their record signing Gylfi Sigurdsson after his allegations surfaced. He wasn’t even charged, but he never played for Everton again.

Compare that to how Arsenal have treated Thomas Partey…it’s night and day.
