The first one I will look at is the controversy over "Citizen Genet." This was very controversial because it involved both opinions about the French Revolution and nationalistic pride. The US was badly split over whether to support the French Revolution and Genet was trying to make them take sides. He also was seen as insulting Pres. Washington, and people did not like that.
