Considering how the French were pushing the US around in the late 1790’s, I think we still have the “Quasi-War” anyhow(something else- maybe another attempt by Talleyrand to wring $ out of other American envoys*- would have probably happened).
*- It appears that it was SOP for Talleyrand to take $ from foreigners dispatchted to the French court on diplomatic missions. In fairness, he actually rarely allowed this to influence his decisions. In other words, this thief had honor!
