The XYZ affair caused a harsh relationship between France and the US.
it was because the people who became to be called XYZ did not say what their names were!!!
Following the XYZ Affair, there was a surge of nationalism from the Americans. This included calls of war - eventually contributing to the naval quasi-wars along the Atlantic coast.

John Adams was the US President (from 1797-1801). The resolution of the Quasi-War with France (1798-1800) came too late to help him gain re-election.
