During Adam's Presidency, America was pushed to the brink of war with France over the XYZ Affair. Many Americans pushed for a full-out war with France, but Adams felt that a war with France would be suicide for the young American nation. He refused to go to war, and as a result he was ostracized by the Federalists who saw him as a traitor to the Federalist cause and a weak president.
