Quasi-War with France (1797–1801) an undeclared naval war with France resulting from the taking of U.S. ships by French privateers, and French insistence that the U.S. not trade with Britain. France also refused to negotiate with the U.S. minister when he arrived in Paris, and hinted that a large bribe needed to be paid to restore good relations (the
XYZ Affair). The USS
Constitution won two victories over French men-of-war during the conflict. U.S. ships attacked French privateers until France agreed to settle the conflict.
