The US fought France at sea in 1800 in the undeclared Quasi-War. Following the French Revolution, the US had ceased paying its debts to France incurred during the Revolutionary War (1776-1787), and French ships began preying on US merchant ships along the Atlantic coast. After the US Navy captured several French warships and privateers, the conflict ended with the Convention of 1800, which guaranteed the safety of merchant ships.
