Haym Salomon

Also, unsung heroes such as millionaires Haym Solomon, a Polish Jew and Irish Catholic Oliver Pollock went bankrupt supporting American freedom and independence.

Ever since the Jew, Haym Solomon , who was a close friend of George Washington (over 70 letters exist between the two) and who literally almost single-handedly financed the Revolutionary War, died penniless for his efforts, America has been the greatest country ever for the exiled Jewish People.

A Jewish financier from Poland, Haym Solomon, contributed to financing the war of the American colonists against Britain, while a French sailor and merchant named Stephen Girard became one of the richest men in the early United States.
