In the early months of Adams' term, the French government captures American ships and crews. When Adams' negotiators are rebuffed, the president cuts off trade with France and orders preparations for war. Hamilton and other Federalists see this as an opportunity to build the country's military capacity with new taxes. A series of Alien and Sedition Acts are enacted as well, giving government the authority to deport aliens and imprison those who publish treasonous materials. Jefferson openly breaks with the president and tries to get states to oppose the Alien and Sedition Acts with legislation of their own. Meanwhile, after winning a number of sea battles against France, Adams again sends a commission to Paris to negotiate an end to the Quasi War.
