the XYZ affair caused an outbreak of war fever in the united states.with the war fever rising,John Adams asked congress to increase the size of the army and rebuild the navy, after many federalists demanded he ask congress to declare war on France. Adams also convinced Congress to create a seperate department of the navy.between 1798 and 1800, the United States fought an undeclared naval war with France.To avoid war, John Adams sent a new mission to france, thus France's dictator, Napoleon Bonaparte, was buisy dealing with war in Europe, but by 1800 he had agreed to stop seizing american ships.This agreement angered leaders of Adams own Federalist Party, especially the Pro-British Alexander Hamilton.This disapproval had weakened Adams Politically, but still, Adams was satisfied.
