American History 8 Chapter 9 – section 2 A Policy of Neutrality

1789 – French Revolution At first Americans supported the revolution WHY? 1. Remembered what it was like to struggle for liberty. 2. France was one of the first European nations to support the U.S. 3. Wanted to help Lafayette (a leader in the Revolution)

1790 – things had turned ugly in France ** The Reign of Terror (guillotine!!) (Sept 1793-July 1794) 50k public executions. The U.S. starts to question its support. Hamilton & John Adams wanted to remain neutral ( not supporting either side) Thomas Jefferson wanted to help the French people.

President Washington had to decide a course for U.S. foreign policy (how the U.S. will deal with other nations) U.S. would remain neutral This policy angered merchants who wanted to make money. Britain & France continued to seize U.S. ships.
