The Neutrality Crisis


Listen Later

In 1793, a charismatic young Frenchman would arrive on American shores. His goal? To recruit American support for France’s War against Britain. As his popularity with Americans soared, Washington faced a new crisis that would pit him between two mighty European nations. Refuse the French, and the United States risked destroying one of their few alliances. Defy the British and the American experiment would be over. Join Dr. Lindsay Chervinsky, Dr. Sandra Moats, and Ramin Ganeshram as we explore the Neutrality Crisis and the vital precedents it set for U.S. foreign diplomacy in this new episode of Inventing the Presidency.
