Which High Federalist tried to crush internal political dissent after the XYZ Affair?
A. John Adams
B. Thomas Jefferson
(C.) Alexander Hamilton
D. George Washington

Is this right?

Answer 1

When John Adams defeated Thomas Jefferson in a hotly contested election for the presidency in 1796, Jefferson claimed to find solace in the extraordinary challenges awaiting the second president. By the end of George Washington's administration, the Hamiltonian economic program, the Jay Treaty, and the Whiskey Rebellion had left the public contentious and divided—and new troubles lurked on the horizon. France, seeing in the Jay Treaty a de facto commercial alliance between Britain and America, had increased its attacks against American shipping. In 1796 alone, 300 American ships were seized. Leaving the presidential headaches to John Adams was perhaps not such a bad thing, Jefferson mused, commenting that "no man will bring out of that office the reputation which he carries into it." President Washington had been fortunate, Jefferson elaborated to his friend James Madison, "to get off just as the bubble is bursting."20....SO YOUR ANSWER IS JOHN ADAMS...
