Answer:

Jefferson refused and Pasha declared war

Step-by-step explanation:

As Jefferson refused to pay around 225 000 dollars, Pasha decided to declare war in 1801. This was a period when Jefferson was becoming the new president, so Pasha wanted to take the advantage of the situation. But, he did not managed to do what he wanted. The war that started was victorious for Jefferson, who was helped by Sweden.
