Adams had to keep the nation at peace, as many, like Hamilton, felt we should declare war on France. France was pressuring the US to join them in their war against Britain. He built up the Navy and spent money on education. He lost the support of many Federalists by keeping the peace. He lost the support of Jefferson's followers by signing the Alien and Sedition Acts.
