Under Amerikanska revolutionen spelade den svenske kung Gustav III och hans regering en viktig roll i att st\u00f6dja USA:s str\u00e4van efter sj\u00e4lvst\u00e4ndighet fr\u00e5n Storbritannien.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sverige, som var neutralt under revolutionen, till\u00e4t amerikanska fartyg att anv\u00e4nda svenska hamnar och f\u00f6rse dem med f\u00f6rn\u00f6denheter. Gustav III skickade \u00e4ven diplomater till USA f\u00f6r att f\u00f6rhandla om handelsavtal och erk\u00e4nna USA:s sj\u00e4lvst\u00e4ndighet efter deras seger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

L\u00e4ste det h\u00e4r dokumentet fr\u00e5n president Washington i boken ”Sweden and the World – Documents from the Swedish National Archives<\/em>”.

Backman var f\u00f6dd i Finland och var en k\u00f6pman och skepps\u00e4gare i G\u00f6teborg. Han gjorde aff\u00e4rer med England och Frankrike. Det var den f\u00f6rsta representationen av USA i Sverige.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Den 3:e april 1783 accepterade Sverige USA som land som fj\u00e4rde land efter Marocko, Frankrike och Nederl\u00e4nderna. Ett motsvarande svenskt konsulat grundades i New York 1799 men redan 1783 hade Sverige ett konsulat i Boston dvs samma \u00e5r som amerikanska revolutionen slutade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
