GEORGE'S NOTES: The XYZ Affair was a diplomatic incident that almost led to war between the United States and France. One of Adam's main goals is to make peace with France. The Vice President of John Adams was Tohmas Jefferson. The affair took place during one of the Neopolitic wars between France and Great Britain. The French thought the U.S. was a hostille nation, especially after the signing of Jay's Treaty in 1794.

Talleyrand sent three French agents to meet with the commission members. The agents suggested that Talleyrand would agree to the treaty if he received from the United States a $250,000 bribe and France received a $10 million loan. The commission refused. Outraged, the commission sent a report to Adams, who inserted the letters X, Y, and Z in place of the agents' names and forwarded the report to Congress. An undeclared naval war took place between the two nations between 1798 and 1800. Anticipating a declared war with France, Congress enacted the Alien and Sedition Acts. These internal security laws were aimed at French and Irish immigrants, who were thought to be supportive of France. Talleyrand, unwilling to risk a declared war with the United States, sought an end to the dispute. The next U.S. delegation sent to France was treated with respect, and the Treaty of Morfontaine, which restored normal relations between France and the United States, was signed in 1800.

The XYZ affiar was a good idea and it was all Adams. HE did this during his Presidency.

1800 Convetion Danny While John Adams was president there was conflict between the united states and France. It was about the the united states not helping priveter british ships. So the French started privetering american ships. The French looted 300 ships. John Adams sacerficed his popularity to settle the quasi war. This became the convention of 1800. John Adams wrote I desire no other inscription on my gravestone exept, here lies John Adams who took upon himself the responsiblity of the peace with france in the war of 1800.

Acts Colton In 1798 A federalist controlled congress passed 4 laws also know as the Alien and Sedition Acts.There where said to protect the U.S, but the federalist made it to crush there opposition. The Sedition acts forbade anyone to publish or voicing criticism the federal goverment.This also meant that there wa no freedom of speach and no freedom of press.Democratic Republican didnt like this bill.Because of this the Kentucky and Virginia resolutions happen these were documents that argued that the Alien and Sedition Acts were unconsitutional.James Madison and Thomas Jefferson pressured Congress to repeal the Acts but they didnt.The acts soon expire within a few years.The Kentucky And Virginia resoltion had no force of national law but supported the idea that states could challenge the federal goverment.The idea would have a tremendous impact on American history later in the 1800's.
