It covers naval operations from 1 November, 1798 to 31 March, 1799, inclusive, during the Quasi-War with France (1798-1801). The book also contains data concerning over three hundred American armed merchant vessels which participated in the war during the year 1798, taken from such sources as are available, the accuracy of which cannot be vouched for in all cases. Throughout the work, it has been the endeavor to make the text of the printed document identical with the original source. Spelling, punctuation, abbreviation, etc., are reproduced as they are found in the originals or in the copies on file. The Quasi-War was an undeclared war fought from 1798 to 1800 between the United States and France. Most of the fighting took place in the Caribbean and off the Atlantic coastline of the United States. The war originated in disputes over the application of the 1778 treaties of Alliance and Commerce between the two countries. France, then engaged in the 1792-1797 War of the First Coalition, which included Great Britain, viewed the 1794 Jay Treaty between the United States and Britain as incompatible with those treaties, and retaliated by seizing American ships trading with Britain. The United States responded by suspending repayment of French loans from the American Revolutionary War. When diplomatic negotiations, culminating in the XYZ Affair, failed to resolve the issue, French privateers began attacking merchant ships in American waters. On July 7, 1798, Congress authorized the use of military force against France, and reestablished the United States Navy. United States Marines were also reestablished to defend and board warships, as well as land troops if needed. The United States informally cooperated with Britain, chiefly in allowing merchant ships to join each other's convoys. Likewise, France cooperated with Spain on a minor scale. President John Adams continued diplomatic efforts to resolve underlying issues; this coincided with Napoleon taking power in France, who, for various reasons, was keen to agree to terms. This led to the Convention of 1800, which ended the war.
