Other improved relations with countries like Great Britain and Spain led to worse relations with countries, like France. France began to capture American ships along with their crews. America then sent Charles Pinckney on behalf of the colonies, but France refused to accept him and tried to extort him before negotiations started. This led to an undeclared war on the seas where the US captured over 80 French ships and won some naval battles. Before all this, the US trade with the French West Indies was complicated by the Royal Navy capturing hundreds of US ships, but was soon remedied by Jay's Treaty.]]> 2017-10-03 14:06:10 UTC https://padlet.com/hcho2019/eiz3eub0sjrb/wish/193435147 hkwak2019 https://padlet.com/hcho2019/eiz3eub0sjrb/wish/193438533 John Green Video]]> 2017-10-03 14:11:22 UTC https://padlet.com/hcho2019/eiz3eub0sjrb/wish/193438533 jmoger2019 https://padlet.com/hcho2019/eiz3eub0sjrb/wish/193702440

States failed to adhere to the Treaty of Paris, which required that they restore the property to Loyalists and repay debts to foreigners. In addition, the U.S. government under the Articles was too weak to stop Britain from maintaining military outposts on the western frontier and restricting trade. 
Washington's first term as president coincided with the outbreak of revolution in France, a cataclysmic event that was to touch off a series of wars between the new French Republic and the monarchies of Europe. Washington's entire eight years as president, as well as the four years of his successor, John Adams, were taken up with the question of whether to five U.S. support to France, France's enemies, or neither side. 
Americans generally supported the French people's aspiration to establish a republic, but many were also horrified by reports of mob hysteria and mass executions. To complicate matters, the U.S. French alliance remained in effect, although it was an alliance with the French monarchy, not with the revolutionary republic. Jefferson and his supporters sympathized with the revolutionary cause. THey also argued that, because Britain was seizing American merchant ships bound for French ports, the United States should join France in its defensive war against Britain. ]]> 2017-10-04 04:30:37 UTC https://padlet.com/hcho2019/eiz3eub0sjrb/wish/193705355 hkwak2019 https://padlet.com/hcho2019/eiz3eub0sjrb/wish/193713629 Attempts to expand US territory westward led to renewed conflict with American Indians and plots to separate western lands from the United States.]]> 2017-10-04 05:59:14 UTC https://padlet.com/hcho2019/eiz3eub0sjrb/wish/193713629 hkwak2019 https://padlet.com/hcho2019/eiz3eub0sjrb/wish/193713732 As Americans moved westward, they had conflicts with Britain, Spain and France.
