Deane, Silas

Deane, Silas
(24 dic. 1737, Groton, Conn., EE.UU.–23 sep. 1789, en alta mar, cerca de Deal, Kent, Inglaterra).

Diplomático estadounidense. Asistió como delegado al Congreso continental, que, en 1776, lo envió en forma secreta a Francia para obtener apoyo financiero y militar. Los cargamentos de armas que consiguió apoyaron la victoria estadounidense en la batalla de Saratoga. En 1777, junto con Benjamin Franklin y Arthur Lee, negoció tratados de comercio y de alianza con Francia. Posteriormente, Lee insinuó que había cometido un desfalco y aunque los cargos nunca se comprobaron, arruinaron su reputación.
