Merchant Robert Morris was a man of many distinctions. One of the
wealthiest individuals in the colonies and an economics wizard, he won the
accolade “financier of the revolution’’ yet died penniless and forgotten. He
and Roger Sherman were the only singer of all three of the nations basic
document: the declaration on independence, articles of confederation, and
constitution. Morris who turned down as the first secretary of the Treasury,
also served as a senator in the congress.

Morris was born in or near Liverpool England, in 1734. At the age of 13, he
migrated to Maryland to join his father tobacco export in Oxford, Maryland.
After brief schooling in Philadelphia, the youth obtain employment with
Thomas and Charles wilding’s well- known shipping firm in 1754. He
becomes a partner and for almost four decades was one of the company’s
directors as well as one of the Philadelphia’s most influential citizens.
Marrying in 1769 at the age of 35, he fathered five sons and two
daughters.

During the stamp act turmoil in 1765, Morris joined other merchants in
protest. But not until the outbreak of hostilities and he decided later to fully
commit himself to the revolution. In 1775, the continental congress
contracted with his firm to import arms and ammunition and he was
elected to Pennsylvania council of safety (1775-1776), the committee of
correspondence, the provincial assembly (1775-1776), the state legislature
(1776-1778), and the conditional congress (1775-1778) in the later body
on July 1, 1776 he voted against independence which he personally
considered premature, but next purposely absented himself to facilitate an
affirmative ballot by his state.

Morris, a key member of congress, specialized in financial affairs and

military procurement, although he and his firm profited handsomely, had it
not been for his assiduous labour, the continental army would probably
have needed to be mobilized. He worked closely with General Washington
wheeled money and supplies from the state, borrowed money in the face
of overwhelming difficulties, and on occasion even obtained personal loan
to further the war cause. Immediately, following his congressional service.
Morris sat for more terms in the Pennsylvania legislature in the period
between 1778-1781.
During this time, Thomas Paine and others attacked him for profiting in
congress, which investigated his account and vindicated him. Nevertheless,
his reputation slipped.

Morris embarked on the most dramatic phase of his career by accepting

the office of Superintendent of Finance (1781-1784) under the articles of
confederation. Congress, recognizing the perilous state of the nations
finance and its impotence to remedy it, granted him dictatorial powers and
acquiesced to his condition that he be allowed to continue his private
commercial enterprises. He slashed all governmental and military
expenditures, personal purchased army and navy supplies, tightened
accounting procedures, prodded the state to fulfil quotas of money and
supplies and when necessary strained his personal credit by issuing notes
over his signature of barrowing from friend.

To finance Washington’s Yorktown campaign in 1781, in addition to the

above techniques.

Morris obtained a sizeable loan from France. He used part of it, alone with
some of his own fortune, to organize the Bank of North America, charted
that December. The first government incorporated bank in the United
States, it aided war financing.
