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.

As a teenager, he fought in the Battle of Little Bighorn, which resulted in Colonel George Armstrong's defeat. Till his death, he insisted that the massacre was caused due to unnecessary use of force by the US troops.

What were the potential consequences for Lil’ George if he did not follow the social rules of Jim Crow?
avanturin [10]
Not following the Jim Crow laws would be a huge problem for African-American people depending on what they did. They could be incarcerated, fined, beaten, or even worse, lynched and killed. A famous African-American child was killed by an angry mob after a white woman claimed that his behavior was inappropriate and what's even worse is that the people who killed him were acquitted.
