They saw it as a threat, and after its passage proceeded to seize American ships. In response, three men were sent to try and negotiate with the French. It was during these negotiations that the bribe was demanded. The three Americans, John Marshall, Elbridge Gerry and Charles Cotesworth Pinckney were taken aback and refused to comply.
