The XYZ Affair and Early American Diplomacy

by  Preservation Virginia

Program image

In the years immediately following the American Revolution, the new United States had to figure out who they were on an international stage and did so through treaties, trade, diplomacy, and both neutrality and war with other countries. How did America emerge in the world following independence? How did American leaders view our future as a world power? With which nations did we get along? With which did we not? This program will explore American diplomacy in the early years of the United States, shaping our young nation, and the role future Chief Justice John Marshall (1755-1835) played in it all. Students will expand their skills through primary source analysis, understanding multiple perspectives of a single event, and making connections across time and place.
