After the King fell to the Revolution, America and France continued to have disagreements.
Some 1790s French, and some Americans, were upset that the very young USA didn't help them militarily during the pre-Napoleonic wars that France fought with Austria, Britain, and others. There was supposed to be a treaty of alliance, and both were republics opposed to monarchy, right?
Presidents Washington, Adams, and Jefferson had to struggle mightily with the partisan divide over neutrality or involvement in France's wars.
