Secret Committee of Trade the primary organization to purchase foreign supplies for the
Revolutionary War. Supplies were bought from European countries or merchants. It was chaired by
Robert Morris, a controversial figure who was the founder of the Bank of North America. Since the countries giving assistance were neutral countries, the activities of the Secret Committee of Trade, which were conducted through the firm of Willing and Morris, were kept secret, and the Committee had unusual discretionary powers. Though the charges were never proven, Morris was later accused of using government funds to make investments and damaging American credit.
