During his presidency, a war between the French and British was taking place. The war caused trading problems in the United States. In order to stop this, Adams sent commissioners to France negotiating a treaty but, they refused and demanded large money. John Adams denied the bribery, which led to an undeclared war which lasted for two years from 1798 to 1800. The war made Adams less popular for the public and he later lost his re-election making Thomas Jefferson the third president. John Adams was involved in two major documents. The first document he took part in was the Declaration of Independence. John Adams along with Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, Robert R. Livingston and Roger Sherman were the ones who took part in drafting the Declaration of Independence. Another document he played a major role in was the Treaty of Paris. He went to Europe with Benjamin Franklin, John Jay, and Henry Laurens to negotiate peace from Great Britain. This later ended the Revolutionary War and the treaty was signed in September 3,
