À propos de ce contenu audio

 In this episode of The History of the United States, Lucas and Luna delve into the diplomatic crisis and undeclared naval war between the United States and Revolutionary France in the late 1790s. They explore the origins of the Quasi-War, including French outrage over Jay's Treaty and the seizure of American merchant ships. The conversation centers on the infamous XYZ Affair, where French agents demanded bribes for negotiations, sparking national outrage. Lucas explains how President John Adams navigated calls for full war from his own party, strengthened the Navy under Secretary Benjamin Stoddert, and authorized privateers. The episode covers key naval engagements, like the capture of the French frigate L'Insurgente by the USS Constellation, and the diplomatic resolution through the Convention of 1800, which ended the alliance with France. Lucas and Luna also discuss the political fallout, including the Alien and Sedition Acts and the rise of party politics between Federalists and Democratic-Republicans.
