It starts with the XYZ Affair.
We have to meet with the French minister.
The French only agreed to meet if the U.S gave them money. Because of this the Americans felt a new sense of nationalism.

The Alien and Sedition Acts were results of the XYZ Affair, meant to keep the French away. Alien act made it more difficult yo become a citizen, the Sedition Act made it illegal to make defamatory statements about the government.
The Alien and Sedition Acts will be helpful.
