 * During John Adams’ presidency he faced many challenges dealing with foreign policies. Few problems arose from the [|French Revolution.] One main concern was that America would have to prepare for war against the the French, and their biggest trade partner, England. Thankfully, after the XYZ affairs, John Adams sent one last peace attempt to France and it was successful. More so, with the threat of the French Revolution, congress passed 4 laws to help strengthen the U.S. government. These laws were known as the[| Alien and Sedition Acts]. The [|Quasi war] was more like a peace treaty between the United States and France. Napoleon had taken over the French Government at the time of this war. Napoleon wanted to be neutral with Britain and the United States. He had already ordered an end to stealing the American ships and released the American captives. Adams wanted peace, not war, and this caused disagreements with the Federalists. All of these disagreements had costed John Adams’ re-election. **
