France and the United States history goes back to colonial days. Six years after the revolution the toppled Bourbon monarchy dissipated some of the warmth for France. In Feb. of 1793 France viewed Washington's policy as partial to England. It was also regarded as hostile Jay's Treaty of Nov. of 1794 between Britain and America. To overcome this John Adams sent a special mission to Paris in 1797. When the French foreign minister demanded a bribe Adams exposed the episode. This is known as the XYZ affair and 2 years of hostilities at sea a quasi-war followed. It ended Sept. 1800 with the Treaty of Morfontaine which rid the US of the "entangling" French Alliance.
At the same time the First Consul Napoleon Bonaparte regained the Louisiana Territory from Spain leading Jefferson to consider war to prevent French control of the Mississippi River, but because of problems Bonaparte's North American plans fell through. To keep Louisiana out of British hands in an approaching war he sold it to the US in April 1803 for 15 million. In their warfare the French infringed on American ships, but less so than the British so in 1812 the United States declared war on Britain and fought as an ally to France. So, Jefferson wasn't neutral in this at all.
