Election of 1796 Issues in the Young Nation Federalists and Democratic-Republicans aren't speaking to each other. End of the One-Party System http://www.james.com/beaumont/images/smith_melancton1.jpg

Election of 1796 The Potential Candidates Jefferson was the only Democratic-Republican candidate. Thomas Jefferson http://www.writespirit.net/authors/thomas_jefferson/Thomas-Jefferson-Pic.jpg

Election of 1796 The Potential Candidates Hamilton would run for the Federalists, but constitutional issues and his financial reforms would lead to a loss for the Federalists. Alexander Hamilton http://imagecache2.allposters.com/images/pic/BRGPOD/187255~Alexander-Hamilton-Posters.jpg

Election of 1796 The Potential Candidates Thomas Pinckney was Hamilton's choice to run. Could control him. Thomas Pinckney http://etc.usf.edu/clipart/1300/1345/Pinckney_2_th.gif

Election of 1796 The Potential Candidates Final candidate was the Vice-President, John Adams, who was also a Federalist, but more strong-minded. John Adams http://www.tamut.edu/academics/mperri/AmSoInHis/John-Adams.jpg

Election of 1796 Results in the Electoral College Adams 71, Jefferson 68, and Pinckney 59. Adams takes Jefferson as Vice-President. Does not trust Hamilton and Pinckney. 1796 Election Results http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/57/ElectoralCollege1796-Large.png/400px-ElectoralCollege1796-Large.png

American Vessels in the Quasi-War XYZ Affair Origins The "Quasi-War." Revolutionary France attacks American shipping to influence the election and hurt Britain. Continue after Adams takes office. France wants the special privileges that Britain gained from Jay's Treaty to end. American Vessels in the Quasi-War http://www.themadpigeon.com/diary_of_the_mad_pigeon/images/2007/07/08/victor1.jpg

XYZ Affair Origins Adams sends three commissioners (John Marshall, Charles Pinckney, and Elridge Gerry) to negotiate a peace. John Marshall http://cache.eb.com/eb/image?id=97171&rendTypeId=4

Charles Maurice de Talleyrand XYZ Affair Talleyrand French foreign minister. Sends three agents (known as X, Y, and Z) to demand a huge bribe from the Americans before he would talk with them. Charles Maurice de Talleyrand http://www.lofaber.com/embargo/images/talleyrand.jpg

XYZ Affair Talleyrand The American commissioners refuse and talks break up in April 1798. American ships and French ships begin to attack each other. Federalists want Congress to declare war to restore American honor. "Millions for defense, but not one cent for tribute!" Adams and the commissioners become national heroes.

American Political Cartoon on the XYZ Affair XYZ Affair Talleyrand American Political Cartoon on the XYZ Affair http://www.robinsonlibrary.com/america/unitedstates/1783/1789/1797/graphics/xyz.gif

XYZ Affair American Response Congress ends the French alliance. Creation of a naval department. Congress appropriates money to triple the size of the army and build 40 warships. Washington comes out of retirement to lead the American forces. American privateers attack French shipping.

The Alien & Sedition Acts Aimed at keeping refugees from both sides of the French Revolution from having an influence on the American government. American Response to XYZ Affair http://www.mariner.org/usnavy/images_content/fullsize/05f_E323A42ConstlInsurgente.jpg

The Alien & Sedition Acts The Alien Acts Naturalization Act. Increased the eligibility for citizenship from 5 to 14 years. Alien Enemies Act. Gave the President the power to arrest or expel enemies in times of "declared war." Alien Act. President can expel all aliens deemed "dangerous to the peace and safety of the United States." The Alien Act http://www.historicaldocuments.com/AlienandSeditionActs1.jpg

The Alien & Sedition Acts The Sedition Act Made it a crime to "impede the operation of any law." Illegal to publish or speak any "false, scandalous, and malicious" criticism of high government officials. A Fight in Congress Over the Sedition Act http://www.apfn.net/MESSAGEBOARD/07-02-04/tjalien.jpg

The VA & KY Resolves Jefferson & Madison Democratic-Republicans believe that the Alien and Sedition Acts violate the First Amendment and were an invasion of states' rights. James Madison http://www.ons.uconn.edu/images/james_madison.jpg4

The VA & KY Resolves Virginia & Kentucky Resolves Drafted by Jefferson (Kentucky) and Madison (Virginia). Stated the following. 1. The Constitution was a compact between sovereign states. 2. Each state had "an equal right to judge for itself" when the Constitution had been violated. 3. IMPORTANT: A state can declare a law of Congress unconstitutional.

The VA & KY Resolves Virginia & Kentucky Resolves Immediate impact was little, with neither state doing anything substantial. Would set a precedent for sectionalism and the states' rights debate later. Threatened Federalist authority, who did nothing about it. VA & KY Resolutions http://www.jmu.edu/madison/center/images/resolutions.gif

Talleyrand and the Devil France Capitulates Talleyrand does not want war with the United States. Already struggling with no allies. Does not want to add another enemy. Will accept new negotiators without a bribe. Talleyrand and the Devil http://www.wlym.com/~animations/ceres/Images/talleyrand_devil.jpg

France Capitulates Hamilton and Federalists still want war. Will go to war with France, but if Spain is available, we'll take them. Spain was weak. Spain controlled Florida, New Orleans, and Louisiana. 3. Spain cut off trade for the Mississippi. Federalist Leaders http://www.archives.gov/publications/prologue/2006/spring/images/mural-detail-m.jpg

France Capitulates Adams remains cool. Sends ministers to France and Spain to negotiate treaties. Infuriates some of the Federalists, who withdraw some support in the next election. John Adams http://www.u-s-history.com/images/john-adams.gif
