John Adams

Adams’ History Educated at Harvard Law School Joined the Patriot Cause after the Stamp Act. Delegate to the 1 st and 2 nd Continental Congresses Served 8 unhappy years as Washington’s Vice President

President Adams’ Foreign Policy Adams wanted to stay out of war between Britain, France Problem: Jay’s Treaty (American attempt to repair relationship with England) angered French, so they began attacking American shipping Adams sent diplomats to negotiate with French (Pinckney, Gerry, Marshall)

Please Examine the Picture Below

Three French agents demanded $250k bribe, $12 million loan to help French fight wars and public apology just to let Americans see French foreign minister Americans went home

Report released to public, changing French agents’ names to X, Y and Z causing this event to be known as the X,Y,Z Affair. Huge public outcry: “Millions for defense, but not one cent for tribute!”

Quasi-War: No declaration, but French, American warships attacked each other and merchant ships American negotiators offered French same terms as Jays Treaty, but French refused 1800: Adams renegotiated treaty successfully US drops claim for damaged merchant ships France released US from alliance of 1778

Alien-Sedition Acts (1798) Alien Friends Act Authorized the president to deport any resident alien considered "dangerous to the peace and safety of the United States.” Aimed at French sympathizers Alien Enemies Act (still in effect) authorized the president to apprehend and deport resident aliens if their home countries were at war with the United States Naturalization Act Extended the duration of residence required for aliens to become citizens to 14 years Sedition Act made it a crime to publish "false, scandalous, and malicious writing" against the government or its officials
