The french capturing American ships

The XYZ affair

President Adam's response

The french were mad that the US wasn't helping them in the war between France and Great Britain. So France captured a bunch of ships with goods Great Britainsent to the US.

President Adams sent three dudes to negotiatewith guys who will stop stealing the US's ships, but these three spies tell them they have to pay them a lot of money to even meet with the guy they want to negotiate with. Obviously no one would ever do that so they go back home and tell president Adams what happened.

President Adams decides that war is not the best option, even tho everyone else wants to go to war because the spies hurt their ego. Adams takes the French's ships until they realize they can't afford to lose supplies and fight in a war so France stops taking the US's ships. With the help from his emotionalsupport cat he was able to make this tough decision.

GET THOSE SHIPS!!!!!!!!

You have lost your mind!! Go find it we are not giving you money!!

People these days don't know how to negotiate.

Who do they think they are

Give us lots of money and we may or may not pay you back

We also don't know if we even want your help but still give us money

That wasn't very nice, but war is not the best option so we are going to capture their ships

Once we start taking their ships they'll realize they can't afford losing supplies and fight a war so they will agree to negotiate with us

Good plan! It's bound to work!!
