Podcasts about quasi war

Clay is joined by one of his favorite guests and favorite people, historian Joe Ellis of Vermont. The discussion is about the Trump administration's attempt to pull the Alien Enemies Act of 1798 out of the historical dust and apply it to what it regards as undesirable foreigners in the United States. Two Alien acts, the Sedition Act, and the Naturalization Act were passed by a Federalist Congress during a war scare in 1798, the so-called Quasi War. The Alien Enemies Act permitted the president to deport any foreign person he regarded as a national security threat, without due process, without a hearing public or private, and without the benefit of counsel. In the presidential campaign of 2024 Donald Trump declared that he would be invoking the Alien Enemies Act, which is still on the books. He has begun to deport what he regards as Venezuelan gang members and other undesirables (as he sees them). The federal courts now will have to determine if the Alien Enemies Act is a legal tool in President Trump's campaign to control immigration to the United States. Joe Ellis provides vital and essential historical context for this vexed issue. This interview was recorded on 22 March 2025.

Defending ocean trade routes doesn't require shredding the Constitution. When French warships were seizing hundreds of American vessels, President John Adams didn't panic. He followed the Constitution - deferred to Congress over a dozen times - and still got the job done. In this episode, learn the forgotten - and completely ignored - history behind war powers and the Constitution, and how it all played out in the so-called Quasi-War with France. The post How to Protect Shipping Routes without Shredding the Constitution first appeared on Tenth Amendment Center.

fWotD Episode 2859: USS Congress (1799) Welcome to Featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia’s finest articles.The featured article for Monday, 3 March 2025 is USS Congress (1799).USS Congress was a nominally rated 38-gun wooden-hulled, three-masted heavy frigate of the United States Navy. James Hackett built her at the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard and she was launched on 15 August 1799. She was one of the original six frigates whose construction the Naval Act of 1794 had authorized. The name "Congress" was among ten names submitted to President George Washington by Secretary of War Timothy Pickering in March 1795 for the frigates that were to be constructed. Joshua Humphreys designed these frigates to be the young Navy's capital ships, and so Congress and her sisters were larger and more heavily armed and built than the standard frigates of the period.Her first duties with the newly formed United States Navy were to provide protection for American merchant shipping during the Quasi War with France and to defeat the Barbary pirates in the First Barbary War. During the War of 1812 she made several extended length cruises in company with her sister ship President and captured, or assisted in the capture of twenty British merchant ships. At the end of 1813, due to a lack of materials to repair her, she was placed in ordinary for the remainder of the war. In 1815 she returned to service for the Second Barbary War and made patrols through 1816. In the 1820s she helped suppress piracy in the West Indies, made several voyages to South America, and was the first U. S. warship to visit China. Congress spent her last ten years of service as a receiving ship until ordered broken up in 1834.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 01:08 UTC on Monday, 3 March 2025.For the full current version of the article, see USS Congress (1799) on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm neural Kevin.

You can send me a text if you have a comment or questionWe are covering 1801.  The 3 key issues are: Pitt resigns over catholic emancipation.   He is replaced by his friend Addington.   Pitt is to Addington as London is to Paddington.  This strange interlude is illustrative that though Pitt may not be in office, Pittites commonly are for the rest of the 2nd Hundred Years War. Napoleon begins his peace offensive.  It starts with the end of the Quasi War with the United States.  but extends to the Concordat and ends up with France again in possession of Louisiana.Because it looks as if peace is inevitable; Britain must take Egypt.  The British conquest of Egypt foreshadows the return of the British infantry to an elite status and demonstrates the power of Napoleon's vision for the Orient (in reverse).  6,000 men are landed by Hope Popham on the Red Sea coast from India.

Clay interviews author and frequent guest Lindsay Chervinsky about her splendid new book on the John Adams administration: Making the Presidency: John Adams and the Precedents that Forged the Republic. In the second of two conversations about the book, Clay asks Lindsay to justify some of her unscrupulous attacks on the life and character of Thomas Jefferson. More to the point, why did John Adams fail to be re-elected for a second term in the year 1800? How much effect did the Constitution's 3/5 clause have on the outcome? What were Adams' greatest contributions to American political life? Why did George Washington betray his deepest principles during the Quasi War with France in 1798? Were the Alien and Sedition Laws of 1798 the reason the Jeffersonians won in 1800 or is it more complicated than that?

Eric and Eliot provide their thumbnail review of the Trump-Harris debate and then welcome their special guest Lindsay Chervinsky, the Executive Director of the George Washington Presidential Library at Mount Vernon and the author the new book Making the Presidency: John Adams and the Precedents that Forged a Republic (New York: Oxford University Press, 2024). They discuss the role of the January 6th insurrection in sparking her interest in the peaceful transfer of power in the United States and the first instance of a transfer via election in 1800. She discusses how this perspective provided new insight into understanding John Adams's Presidency which is frequently depicted as a failure but which successfully resolved the Quasi-War with France in the late 1790s, established the norms of civilian oversight of the military and Presidential command of foreign policy and control of the executive departments of government. They discuss the political intriguing of Alexander Hamilton and Thomas Jefferson who sought to undermine Adams, the fears of a standing army, the extremism of the "Arch Federalists" and the violent rhetorical excesses of factionalism in the party, the role of the French Revolution and immigration in American politics in the early Republic, and ultimately how Adams put country over party and personal political success to establish the norms of a peaceful transfer of power. Finally, she discusses how the death throes of the Federalist Party (and later the Whigs) might shed light on possible futures for the GOP.

 John Adams was the most consequential leader and figure when it came to the success and objectives of the American Revolution. Adams spent much of the years 1780-1789 abroad. He helped to conclude the post-war peace treaty with Great Britain, was a Diplomat to Holland and France, and served as the first United States Ambassador to Great Britain. The Constitution of 1780, drafted by John Adams, is the oldest written constitution in the world still in effect. This Constitution, primarily drafted by John Adams, contains a written Declaration (Bill) of Rights and a Frame of Government modeled after the one articulated in Thoughts on Government. The Massachusetts Constitution of 1780 was the primary model for the United States Constitution and the many other subsequent national constitutions that have relied on American government as a model and it is a fitting tribute to the genius of John Adams. The successful transfer of power was made on 4 March 1797. Adams' presidency was fraught with difficulties: The Quasi War with France, the XYZ Affair, and the Alien and Sedition Acts of 1798. American political parties were just taking shape, but Adams was not a party man.Adams's experiences in the Boston Massacre court case in which he represented 9 British soldiers would guide him as he developed and articulated his philosophy of a government based on the rule of law rather than the rule of individuals. John Adams concluded in the Boston Massacre court case:"Facts are stubborn things; and whatever may be our wishes, our inclinations, or the dictates of our passion, they cannot alter the state of facts and evidence . . . . [The law] commands that which is good, and punishes evil in all, whether rich, or poor, high, or low. . . . On the one hand [the law] is inexorable to the cries and lamentations of the prisoners; on the other it is deaf, deaf as an adder, to the clamors of the populace."In imagining an ideal judiciary Adams believed that judges should be non-partisan, wise and independent. His wife Abigail Adams, who was in constant correspondence with John Adams through letters, was characteristically progressive for her time period always telling her husband to "Remember the Ladies" even at the Constitutional Conventions.Abigail Adams famously writes in her letter to John Adams: “I long to hear that you have declared an independency—and by the way in the new Code of Laws which I suppose it will be necessary for you to make I desire you would Remember the Ladies. . . . If perticuliar care and attention is not paid to the Laidies we are determined to foment a Rebelion, and will not hold ourselves bound by any Laws in which we have no voice, or Representation.”Some of John Adams Best Quotes which I highlight in the podcast:1.     Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.2.     I must study politics and war that my sons may have liberty to study mathematics and philosophy.3.     Because power corrupts, society's demands for moral authority and character increase as the importance of the position increases.4.     Liberty cannot be preserved without general knowledge among the people.5.     Let us tenderly and kindly cherish, therefore, the means of knowledge. Let us dare to read, think, speak, and write.I encourage my audience to read more about the precedence in government established by John Adams as well as watch the HBO series called "John Adams" to learn more about one of the most eminent leaders and ambassadors of the American Revolution and the nation.

In the big scheme of things, the United States is a rather young country. Yet, during its history, it has managed to declare war on a shockingly large number of European countries, including Britain, Spain, Germany, Italy, Austria, Hungary, Romania, and Bulgaria.  Yet, through all the turmoil, there is one country the US has never gone to war with….France. Except for that time when we sort of, kind of, did.  Learn more about Quasi-War and how the US sort of went to war with France without actually going to war with France on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Between the John Adams miniseries on HBO and the musical 1776, everyone knows that John Adams was one of the leading voices for independence in the Continental Congress. And along with negotiating the treaty of Paris and keeping the US out of the Quasi War, Adams always considered the Declaration one of his chief accomplishments. 50 years after Congress adopted it, John Adams remembered it on the morning of July 4, 1826, remarking “it is a great day. It is a good day.” That evening, he died, with many sources reporting that his last words were “Jefferson still lives.” He was wrong, though. Earlier that day, Jefferson had woken briefly, asked “is it the fourth” and then declined further medical treatment before slipping into a coma and himself dying. For someone who was so closely associated with America's founding document, why did John Adams believe we should celebrate it on July 2nd? And how did his closest and most trusted advisor, his wife Abigail, urge him on toward independence in a letter that history remembers for other reasons? Let's find out!

In one of Napoleon's most important domestic policy decisions, France finally reconciles with the Catholic Church while Bonaparte also navigates the complex and seldom spoken about relationship between France and the newly formed United States of America.

Treason is the crime of attacking a state authority to which one owes allegiance. This typically includes acts such as participating in a war against one's native country, attempting to overthrow its government, spying on its military, its diplomats, or its secret services for a hostile and foreign power, or attempting to kill its head of state. A person who commits treason is known in law as a traitor. Historically, in common law countries, treason also covered the murder of specific social superiors, such as the murder of a husband by his wife or that of a master by his servant. Treason (for example disloyalty) against one's monarch was known as high treason and treason against a lesser superior was petty treason. As jurisdictions around the world abolished petty treason, "treason" came to refer to what was historically known as high treason. At times, the term traitor has been used as a political epithet, regardless of any verifiable treasonable action. In a civil war or insurrection, the winners may deem the losers to be traitors. Likewise the term traitor is used in heated political discussion – typically as a slur against political dissidents, or against officials in power who are perceived as failing to act in the best interest of their constituents. In certain cases, as with the Dolchstoßlegende (Stab-in-the-back myth), the accusation of treason towards a large group of people can be a unifying political message. United States. The offense of treason exists at both federal and state levels. The federal crime is defined in the Constitution as either levying war against the United States or adhering to its enemies, and carries a sentence of death or imprisonment and fine. In the 1790s, opposition political parties were new and not fully accepted. Government leaders often considered their opponents to be traitors. Historian Ron Chernow reports that Secretary of the Treasury Alexander Hamilton and President George Washington "regarded much of the criticism fired at their administration as disloyal, even treasonous, in nature." When the undeclared Quasi-War broke out with France in 1797–98, "Hamilton increasingly mistook dissent for treason and engaged in hyperbole." Furthermore, the Jeffersonian opposition party behaved the same way. After 1801, with a peaceful transition in the political party in power, the rhetoric of "treason" against political opponents diminished. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/law-school/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/law-school/support

The Book Report Series: Highlights of some very great books about American history. A list of books everyone should have in their libraries. The Barbary Wars the 33 year war with the Moors of North Africa. The history of America's conflict with piratical states of the Mediterranean runs through the presidencies of Washington, Adams, Jefferson, and Madison: the adoption of the Constitution; the Quasi-War with France and the War of 1812; the construction of a full-time professional navy; and, most important, the nation's halting steps toward commercial independence. Frank Lambert's genius is to see in the Barbary Wars the ideal means of capturing the new nation's shaky emergence in the complex context of the Atlantic world. Depicting a time when Britain ruled the seas and France most of Europe. The Barbary Wars proves that America's earliest conflict with Arab world (Moors of Africa) was always a struggle for economic advantage rather than clash of cultures or religion.

John Adams is a relative unknown considering he's one of the Founding Fathers. He was extremely intelligent, a vastly accomplished lawyer, idealist and ideologist and was fundamentally convincing as advocate for liberty and independence.Was being VP and President a step too far in the career of John Adams? Is his legacy forever tarnished as a result of the failures he presided over in the White House?Is this a question people in politics ask themselves these days? Have I reached a level where I should consider myself at the peak of my powers? Would another step forward be a step too far?In this podcast we talk about the Stamp Act, the Alien and Sedition Acts, The Quasi War and the XYZ Affair. It is fair to say that Adams does not emerge from his time in office, the first single-term president, with his reputation enhanced.

The first time American neutrality found itself under attack.

What do the Jay Treaty, the Logan Act, Fries' Rebellion, and the Alien and Sedition Acts have to do with this time? Are they all connected? We are taking a short break from our series on Charles I this week. Instead we will be discussing the XYZ Affair. The 1790s in America were almost as messy as the 1640s in England. There was trouble with both France and England. The United States had treaties with both nations, and those treaties conflicted. When the French Revolution wiped the Monarchy away, war with England was inevitable. The combination of the conflicting treaties and the expectation for the United States allegiance further divided American politics. When the French minister, Genet, tried to use the United States as a staging area for France to attack both England and Spain, there was resentment. When the French minister Talleyrand attempted to bribe the United States, there were calls for war... and there actually was a two year Quasi War fought from 1798-1800. President John Adams made a lot of mistakes during these tense years, but in the end, he may have saved the country. There are a lot of lessons here for our day. Audio Production by Podsworth Media.

Today we are starting on the quasi War witch was an undeclared war fought mostly at sea between the United States and the French Republic from 1798 to 1800. In the United States, the conflict was sometimes also referred to as the Undeclared War With France, the Pirate Wars and the Half-War. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/dale-robertson/support

The most forgotten "War" in American history is also one of its first. Tensions boil over with France after the US starts getting buddy-buddy with England again with the Jay Treaty. A war most people don't know we ever really had is a large factor why we have the modern territory of the United States. Enjoy.

Lin-Manuel Miranda’s musical Hamilton barely touched on the relationship between Alexander Hamilton and John Adams, and we dive into the many reasons these men HATED each other. It all started with their differences during the Revolutionary War and the hate only grew during their power struggles in the Quasi-War and the viciously contentious Election of 1800. Not even Hamilton's untimely death could stop their feud, as Adams continued smearing Alexander's memory with a pseudo-medical theory that Hamilton’s “superabundance of secretions” were responsible for his power-hungry ways.

In this lecture, Dr. Totten argues John Adams' opposition to a war with France saved the young nation but doomed his political career and paved the way for the election of Thomas Jefferson. By stepping down from the presidency after two terms, George Washington ensured the Republic would survive with the precedent of a two term limit that was later enshrined in constitutional law in the 1950s. Adams administration was dominated by the Quasi-War with France, an undeclared war between French and American ships. American delegates attempted to negotiate with the French foreign minister, Talleyrand, but instead were met with demands for a private bribe and a public loan for France. The resulting XYZ Affair led to the further deterioration of relations between America and her former ally. With a large French immigrant population in America, the Congress passed the Alien and Sedition Act, which criminalized free speech. As a result, Thomas Jefferson and James Madison wrote the Virginia and Kentucky Resolutions, which enunciated the concept of Nullification that later directly led to the Nullification Crisis of 1832 and the Secession Crisis of 1861. The election of 1800 between Jefferson and Adams was a highly contentious campaign, with numerous slanders and libels cast by supporters of both candidates. While Jefferson defeated Adams in the Electoral College, he tied his running mate Aaron Burr, who refused to concede defeat, as he was highly ambitious and unscrupulous politician. Alexander Hamilton helped throw the election in Jefferson's favor, because while he may disagree with Jefferson's politics, he at least knew he had principles, unlike Burr. Thus, Jefferson became president and stated: "We are all republicans, we are all federalists." While this was meant to unite the country, Jefferson meant it an invitation for everyone to join his party, as the concept of a loyal opposition party was still not yet firmly established in the American political process.

After fighting the Quasi-War with France over the rights of American sailors and merchants at sea, we were now facing the same issues with the British. This episode traces the events leading up to the War of 1812, sometimes referred to as the Second War of Independence, against the Royal Navy which was in its wartime 1,000-ship prime and tells the story of how we "won" (ok, tied...or actually just didn't completely lose) this Second War for Independence thanks to the United States Navy.

Right as we gain our independence, the Napoleonic Wars break out in Europe leading to a brief, undeclared war against our former ally France. Following the Quasi-War, you'll hear about US Navy actions in the Barbary Wars against the pirate states of North Africa featuring bribery, coups, battles, and the story of what legendary British Admiral Nelson called “the most bold and daring act of the age.”

Dr. William Thiesen is the Atlantic-area historian for the U.S. Coast Guard and author of Industrializing American Shipbuilding: The Transformation of Ship Design and Construction, 1820–1920 and Cruise of the Dashing Wave: Rounding Cape Horn in 1860 (University Press of Florida, 2009 and 2010, respectively). On the NASOH Video/Podcast he discussed the U.S. Coast Guard's role in enforcing Prohibition, commonly referred to as the Rum War. This included discussions on the tactics and technologies employed by the Coast Guard, including new cutters and aircraft, and the use of intelligence. This was the largest expansion in the history of the Coast Guard up to that date and had a significant impact on their ability to prosecute the anti-submarine campaign and amphibious warfare in the Second World War.

John Adams is the Devil's Advocate of the Founding Fathers. A revolutionary turned international diplomat turned President who was never afraid to stand alone if he was convinced that standing alone was the right thing to do. From the Boston Massacre to the Continental Congresses to the Treaty of Paris and the Quasi War with France, we'll follow Adams as he charts the unique path of a man who refused to be carried by the tides of history, and instead sought to control them.Bibliography1.

The relationship between American and Britain is one of the deepest, strongest and most powerful relationships between any two countries ever and it feels like except that one time back in the day, we've always been homies. But that couldn't be further from the truth, America and Britain have fought two wars, almost gone to war three times, feuded over some borders, had a few riots and even an axe fight or two. But why did we hate each other? How did we stop hating each other? Are there any bears attacks involved? Maybe.

This week’s episode will close the chapter on the Quasi-War. We’ll discuss the Marines amphibious landing, a few battles where Marine musket fire caused the enemy to retreat, the signing of the peace treaty, response from Congress after the end of the war, and we’ll introduce a young Second Lieutenant Presley O'Bannon.

This episode introduces the first official war the United States fought as an independent nation. The Quasi-War was an undeclared war against one of our greatest allies during our fight for Independence, the French. We will take a look at our relationship with France after the revolution as well as events that changed our alliance.

In less than a generation, France went from an ally to an enemy. Tired of the violations of American neutrality, John Adams mobilized the navy to stop French commerce raiding. The new navy was very successful and created a fleet that was here to stay. The success of the war at sea is in stark contrast to what happened on land. The fear of French interference in American affairs gave Alexander Hamilton the necessary justification to create an army loyal to him. The political uproar that ensued emboldened Thomas Jefferson and shattered the Federalist party.

When the Quasi-War with France threatened to escalate in 1798, Congress $2 million in new taxes on real estate and slaves. John Fries (like many American citizens) was not too fond of these taxes, and took action in Pennsylvania.

The XYZ Affair and the subsequent Quasi-War was the result of disagreements over treaties and America's status as a neutral in the Wars of the French Revolution.
