What problems did the French foreign minister cause when US President Adams sent a peace delegation to Paris?
ChuckSiata
The French foreign minister at first refused to meet with the peace treaty delegation that US President John Adams had sent to Paris. The minister was Talleyrand and he first demanded a personal bribe if the Americans wanted to talk to him. He also made the absurd demand that the US pay $10 million to France for the speech given by President Adams that was insulting to France. Talleyrand sent three agents to meet the US delegation to see if they would pay. One of the members of the US peace delegation was war veteran, John Marshall. Marshall, in fact had been with George Washington when he crossed the Delaware River in 1776. Marshall was not to be toyed with and called the three Frenchmen Messrs. X Y and Z. He used these letters in his communications he sent back to Adams. Then the US delegation left for America.
