At the beginning of President George Washington’s second administration, tensions between Great Britain and France erupted into open warfare. Within the U.S. government, one faction remembered France’s support of the Americans during the Revolutionary War and took note of the fact that France had become a republic. Another faction recognized that U.S. trade was conducted almost exclusively with Great Britain. In 1793, the newly appointed French minister to the United States started commissioning Americans as privateers to attack British ships. He also established pseudo-French courts within the United States to confiscate captured cargoes from the British. Thus, for adventurous ship owners who could afford to turn their ships into military vessels, the war presented a golden opportunity.
