George Washington left John Adams with the conflict w/ the French antagonize 
John Adams needs to remain neutrality 
Adams sends a diplomatic envoy (3 negotiators to try to maintain neutrality) 
The 3 Americans were not well received 
2 were deported and then told the 3rd guy to go back and you’re president to give us money (extreme disrespect against the nation and John Adams) 
•john Adams response : he went in front of congress and gave a speech., when he talked about the 3 Frenchies that wanted War he called them x, y and z = failed negotiation of peace with France 
He then told congress to build the navy .... 
we weren’t trying to go to war, we were trying to defend our country, (we won’t shoot till they do) The rest of John Adams wars were spent ... which led to an undeclared war in the Atlantic called the Quasi-war. 
•president Adams sends a second envoy to France. They were able to negotiate a peace.

They want to go to war. 
•Southerners sympathize with France, and they criticize because he ruined the peace. 
Both sides don’t like him, both sides criticize him. 
In the Federalist Party there is a faction called the high Federalist or Juntos. They were controlled by Alexander Hamilton, and he wants war with France. 
•Media Hatred: the media will continue to belittle and manipulate the entegrity of the US and John Adams himself. 
•how did John Adams/Federalist administration respond to the media hatred ..; 
They passed two laws through congress 
-the Alien Act gives the president power to expel any foreigner. If you speak negatively you get kicked out 
-the sedition act criminalizes criticism of the government. This act targeted the media/newspaper because they are inciting rebellion. 
•How did people(democratic/Republicans) respond to the Alien and Sedition Acts?..,. 
VA and KY resolutions ...
Jefferson’s Kentucky resolutions : states may nullify unconstitutional federal law 
Madison’s Virginia resolution : urge states to protect their citizens from the laws. 
•How to fix it all. . . 
Send a second envoy to France to gain peace. 
• the second envoy to France ruined Adams chance at a second term because it caused the high Federalist to walk out on him as candidate. They chose Pickney (South Carolina) to run for them instead. 
The democratic republicans put our Thomas Jefferson and A. Borr (he’s from NY). They want Borr to steel NY from the Federalist.
•Hamilton’s guys ended up voting for Thomas Jefferson 
•”Revolution” of 1800 : 1st time in American history where one political party gave up there power for the other political party.
