The Papers of Thomas Jefferson - Volume 30 - January 1798 To January 1799 by Thomas Jefferson and Barbara B. Oberg

During the thirteen months covered by this volume, Thomas Jefferson spent more than half of his time in Philadelphia serving as vice president under President John Adams and presiding over a Senate that was dominated by his political opponents, the Federalists. Debates in Congress took place against a backdrop of bitter partisan rivalry, characterized most famously by the near-brawl on the floor of the House between Matthew Lyon and Roger Griswold. Congress and the nation waited, in a 'state of extraordinary suspense,' for dispatches from the American envoys in France. When the accounts of the XYZ Affair became public, the nation prepared for war.
