France, enraged by the passing of Jay’s Treaty between the Americans and Great Britain resulted in the French retaliation by seizing cargo and destroying American ships thus ending diplomatic relations with France. Adams election in 1796 made the fallacies in the electoral system much more apparent when we ended up in a dilemma where our vice president and the president were polar opposite parties which could be seen as a major issue for the term. The electoral college system misrepresented the American citizens landing us in many counter balancing situations between the federalists and the republicans. The two divided parties would shape the way society divides itself today politically. When ending his presidency George Washington made a call for unity as he grew distraught at the sight at the “…baneful effects of the spirit of party… [warning the people by saying] …it agitates the community with ill-founded jealousies and false alarms; kindles the animosity of one part against another…” (Crash Course & John Green 2013). This proved that the division of opinions would ultimately lead to unintended consequences for the young nation such as the Quasi-War, the Whiskey Rebellion, and the Alien/Sedition acts in turn supporting the claim that American politics were very much unsettled in the first
