The XYZ Affair was a political and diplomatic episode in 1797 and 1798, early in the administration of John Adams, involving a confrontation between the United States and Republican France that led to an undeclared war called the Quasi-War.

Pres. John Adams dispatched three ministers to France in 1797 to negotiate a commercial agreement to protect U.S. shipping. In Paris the ministers were approached by three French agents who suggested a bribe of $250,000 to Talleyrand, the French foreign minister, and a loan of $10,000,000 to France as a prelude to negotiations. In April 1798 the machinations of the three French agents (called X, Y, and Z in the diplomatic correspondence) were made public in the United States. There was a great outcry over the bribe solicitation, followed by preparations for war. Although a period of undeclared naval warfare ensued between France and the United States formal war was avoided, and the incident was settled by the Convention of 1800.

IRISSAK [1]

Answer:

Explanation:

There was inflation after the First Bank of the United States closed because the United States after fighting the war of 1812 found itself in a huge debts which leads to them struggling with increase in prices and devalued money from rising inflation

The problem was resolved by creating the second bank of the United States in 1816. One of the major reason for its creation was to help the national treasury out of its unpleasant financial situation and also to regulate the currency.

Why did some northerners oppose the war? how did president lincoln respond when opposition turned violent?
FinnZ [79.3K]
<span> - The reason that the northerners opposed the war was that they had economic ties with the South and they feared that a war would negatively affect them financially. They also did not support the war because of their religious belief that violence and slavery were unjust and against God’s will.

 - When the opposition turned violent, President Lincoln sent his troops to border states keep order and suspended the right of habeas corpus, and jailed people who opposed him.
