Storyboard Tekst

  • France capturing US ships
  • MWAHAHAHA!! This is payback for not helping us in our revolution!
  • Please don't hurt me! I give up you can have the ship!
  • The XYZ Negotiation
  • Give us money, then we can talk. Like a lot of it please. Also you can't see us because you can't know who we are.
  • Okay we'll call you XYZ. But also no way, we'd rather fight you, so bye.
  • John Adams Response
  • Excellent idea sir.
  • I've got it! France is stealing our ships let us steal theirs! Ha, I'm a genius. Then we can make up and become friends.
  • France captures an American ship that's trading with Great Britain because France thought America didn't "stay neutral" in the French Revolution like they said they would.
  • Three smart delegates went to negotiate with France about ships being stolen, but France demanded a bribe to even get into the room to talk. America said that they would rather fight France in war than spend millions of dollars just to talk. 
  • President John Adams decides to steal France's ships in retaliation. Then afterward they figure it out and stop stealing from one another.
