Trump has been invoking part of the Alien and Sedition Acts to threaten recrimination and prosecution of his opponents. At the time of XYZ, the French Revolution was ongoing and our Revolutionary French allies from 1776-1783 were viewed as aristocrats by the French mobs. By that time, the French Revolution had turned on Robespierre, the most important figure of the French Revolution, executed by guillotine in Paris, France, on July 28, 1794. Napoleon was First Consul from 1799 to 1804. Initially a "republican" he became emperor in 1804.
Adams had aristocratic tendencies. Jefferson accused him of insanity and marital infidelity, via James T. Callender. He accused him of attempting to make war with France to curry favor with the British.
Not Just the New Englander's Daniel, the planters of the Carolina's had no interest in the revolution either
Unlike the Virginia's who had the obligatory tradition of making an aliyah to England at least once, and the more trips one made the greater demonstration of wealth and status.
The planters of the Carolina's had no problem with England, as it was England that bought their cotton, and thus gave them a "price doesn't matter" attitude towards the monopoly of the East India Company, and the resulting Hat and Stamp Acts.
They had no interest in the revolution until the Brits landed in Charleston and the officers dispossessed them of their homes, to use as officer quarters.
The Mel Gibson movie the Patriot is a fairly accurate portrayal of the time.
The Virginia planters were of another mind, They envisioned themselves as the nobility in the new America.
Thanks. I'll order it.

People seem to forget that at the time, many New Englanders wanted to secede and make peace with England. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hartford_Convention#:~:text=As%20early%20as%201804%20some,national%20government%20became%20too%20oppressive.
