Important Questions
• What was the French Revolution?• What were the two American perspectives
regarding the French Revolution and the French conflict with Great Britain?
![Page 12: 9.2 Early Challenges Layout Part 1 (1 day): Conflict at Home Whiskey Rebellion NW territory conflict Part 2 (2 days): Conflict with Europe French Revolution](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032804/56649e455503460f94b392da/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
What is foreign policy?
• a policy pursued by a nation in its dealings with other nations, designed to achieve national objectives.
• What was going on at the time?– Expansion into American Indian occupied
Northwest Territory– FRENCH REVOLUTION (today’s focus)
![Page 13: 9.2 Early Challenges Layout Part 1 (1 day): Conflict at Home Whiskey Rebellion NW territory conflict Part 2 (2 days): Conflict with Europe French Revolution](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032804/56649e455503460f94b392da/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Summary of French Revolution?
• The French Revolution was the popular overthrow of the French King Louis XVI.– The Revolution spiraled out of control and became
very divisive in France. – The Revolutionaries who had seized the
government had the idea to unite the country by fighting a war with Britain.
![Page 14: 9.2 Early Challenges Layout Part 1 (1 day): Conflict at Home Whiskey Rebellion NW territory conflict Part 2 (2 days): Conflict with Europe French Revolution](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032804/56649e455503460f94b392da/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Two views on the FR emerge in US
• Two views: (two political parties)1. Democratic
Republican view• Support the
French, not the British
2. Federalist view• Support the
British, not the French
![Page 15: 9.2 Early Challenges Layout Part 1 (1 day): Conflict at Home Whiskey Rebellion NW territory conflict Part 2 (2 days): Conflict with Europe French Revolution](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032804/56649e455503460f94b392da/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
DEMOCRATIC REPUBLICAN VIEW OF FRENCH REVOLUTION
• Republicans like Jefferson thought that the American Revolution and the French Revolution were one and the same cause.
• They thought liberty was a global cause, not exclusive to one nation’s independence.
• Republicans side with the idea of liberty as it is represented within the revolutionary French state in contrast to the order that Great Britain represents.
• Idealistic rather than practical.• Video

FEDERALIST VIEW OF FRENCH REVOLUTION
• Tied to Federalist preference of Great Britain as a governing role model– Federalists favored an alliance with Great Britain as the nation
that was most likely to promote commerce and investment in the United States
– Federalists also believed that the government of Great Britain stood as a strong model of constitutional order, as opposed to what they saw as the radicalism of the French Revolution.
– Again, we see Federalists side with the idea of ORDER as it is represented within the state of Great Britain, as opposed to the unpredictability of France.
– Practical rather than idealistic.

The French revolution takes a turn for the worst
• When the French Revolution became excessively violent, many Americans turned from supporting it
• This period is known as the “Reign of Terror”– Over 40,000 people who
were accused of not being committed to the revolution were sent to the guillotine from 1793-1794
• Drained support for French Revolution in the US
![Page 18: 9.2 Early Challenges Layout Part 1 (1 day): Conflict at Home Whiskey Rebellion NW territory conflict Part 2 (2 days): Conflict with Europe French Revolution](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032804/56649e455503460f94b392da/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)

What was Washington's policy regarding the French revolution
• Video• Like most Federalists (Hamilton, Adams, etc),
Washington wanted to stay free of foreign alliances especially regarding France.
• He did not want to anger Britain by siding with France.
• The French argued that their alliance was still valid. Washington disagreed, saying the alliance was made with the former King and therefore nullified when they killed him.
![Page 20: 9.2 Early Challenges Layout Part 1 (1 day): Conflict at Home Whiskey Rebellion NW territory conflict Part 2 (2 days): Conflict with Europe French Revolution](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032804/56649e455503460f94b392da/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)

• Included Holy Roman Empire, Spain, Portugal, Dutch Republic
• France declared war on these European powers in an effort to UNITE THE FRENCH POPULATION

unite the nation
![Page 21: 9.2 Early Challenges Layout Part 1 (1 day): Conflict at Home Whiskey Rebellion NW territory conflict Part 2 (2 days): Conflict with Europe French Revolution](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032804/56649e455503460f94b392da/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
How does America respond?
• France wants the US to join the French side, but US, under Washington wants to remain neutral
• US wants to continue trading with both French and British
• British and French both feared the US trading with their enemy
• Both sides began seizing American ships
![Page 22: 9.2 Early Challenges Layout Part 1 (1 day): Conflict at Home Whiskey Rebellion NW territory conflict Part 2 (2 days): Conflict with Europe French Revolution](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032804/56649e455503460f94b392da/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Seizing of American Ships
• British and French both seized American ships in an effort to stop the trading
• British began a policy of impressment• Impressment- seizing the sailors and forcing them to
serve in the British Navy• Hamilton urged peace with Brtiain
» British purchased 75% of American exports, 90% American imports
» John Jay was sent to make a treaty with Britain to protect relations
![Page 23: 9.2 Early Challenges Layout Part 1 (1 day): Conflict at Home Whiskey Rebellion NW territory conflict Part 2 (2 days): Conflict with Europe French Revolution](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032804/56649e455503460f94b392da/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
The Jay Treaty
• The Jay Treaty with Britain 1795• US agreed to pay debts long owed to Britain • Britain agreed to pay for the ships they seized • Agreed to withdraw troops from Northwest Territory and
stop aiding Native Americans
• Britain refused to: » Stop impressing sailors» Recognize US right to trade with France
![Page 24: 9.2 Early Challenges Layout Part 1 (1 day): Conflict at Home Whiskey Rebellion NW territory conflict Part 2 (2 days): Conflict with Europe French Revolution](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032804/56649e455503460f94b392da/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
The Jay Treaty • Treaty was ratified but
was received with mixed emotions
• On one hand, it did not get Britain to stop impressing US sailors– However, its success was
that it solidified US trade relations with Britain which were very important for the recovering economy.

Jay Treaty/ Pinckney Treaty
• Jay Treaty preserved relations with Britain.• Spain became worried US and GB would work
together against Spanish colonies of Florida and Louisiana.
• US sent Thomas Pinckney to smooth things over. – 1795 Pinckney Treaty- Gave US free navigation of
Mississippi River and the right to trade at New Orleans
– Good for economy and relations with Spain
