Answers
Answer:
John Paul Jones was a Revolutionary War hero known as the father of the U.S. Navy. Born in Scotland in 1747, Jones came to America as a merchant sailor. When the American Revolution broke out, Jones sided with the colonists and joined the Continental Navy, with his greatest victory coming from his against-all-odds defeat of the British warship Serapis in 1779. After the Continental Navy disbanded, Jones found his way to Paris where he died in 1792. Over one hundred years later, his remains were brought back to the United States where he was laid to rest at the U.S. Naval Academy Chapel in Annapolis, Maryland
Jones, the American colonies were too busy stoking the flames of war with the British to have noticed his past. In 1775 the American Revolution broke out, and Jones — who could easily recall Britain’s cruel treatment of the Scots — sided with the colonists and joined the new Continental Navy.
With great skill and temerity, Jones began attacking British ships off the American coastline and expanded his operations from there. He captained the USS Providence, sailing to Nova Scotia and capturing British vessels.
Soon after, he took command of Ranger and set course to France, where his vessel was saluted by the French Admiral La Motte Piquet — the first American vessel ever to be recognized by a foreign power.

Answer:
John Paul Jones' military leadership contributed to the revolution because he refused to give up. By refusing to give up, even after being asked to surrender he lead America to another victory. I believe that John Paul Jones affected the other soldiers by leading by example. Him not giving up probably gave the soldiers a bit of extra confidence. By not giving up it showed the soldiers that he believes in his army. It confirmed that he believes in America.
