The Quasi War with France

In the Quasi War with France, in total the US captured 85 French ships, while the French captured over 2,000 US vessels! The US is always quick to criticize other peoples and countries, but never our own actions. When I was researching the Quasi War, I came across the US State Department's summary of the war, and there was not much information, perhaps because the main points of the war are all major criticisms for the United States, such as the Alien and Sedition Acts.
