farmers, Germans and Scots-Irish in the southern backcountry and subsistence
farmers in the Northeast.

Party identity crystallized in 1796. To prepare for the presidential election, Federalist and Republican leaders
called in the states to discuss policies and nominate candidates.

seizures, Adams charged that Talleyrand’s agents, whom he dubbed
X,Y, and Z, had insulted America’s honor.
