Jefferson & the Barbary Pirates
The Barbary Coast (Northern African nations) was home to several companies of pirates.
In the 17th and 18th centuries, the British and French paid tribute to these pirates for safe passage through the Mediterranean Sea.
After the Revolution, America had to be responsible for the safety of her naval enterprises.
In 1784, Congress decided to allocate money to pay tribute to these pirates.
![Page 27: European Exploration. Earlier Explorers Marco Polo – – his journey through Asia lasted 24 years – – he became a favorite of Kublai Khan – – Polo traveled](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062800/56649e0f5503460f94afa871/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)

conceding the ransom would only encourage more attacks.
The U.S. paid Algiers the ransom
1801, Jefferson became president and stopped payments
Barbary States declared war on the United States
1804, 1st Barbary War ended after U.S. Marines launched an attack on Tripoli and freed hostages
![Page 28: European Exploration. Earlier Explorers Marco Polo – – his journey through Asia lasted 24 years – – he became a favorite of Kublai Khan – – Polo traveled](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062800/56649e0f5503460f94afa871/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
The Barbary Wars In 1801, Jefferson became President. The Barbary States
issued a demand for tribute from the new administration. Jefferson refused; the States declared war on America. Several frigates were sent to the North African coast on the
Mediterranean Sea where they were victorious over Algiers and Tunis, seizing all the “vessels and goods” of the leaders of the States.
Tripoli continued its fight against America, and subsequently, the American navy set up and maintained a blockade of the Barbary ports and executed a campaign of raids and attacks against the city’s fleets.
In 1803, the Tripoli fleet captured the USS Philadelphia and took the captain and the crew hostage.
In February 1804, the US Marines with help from several Greek, Arab, and Berber mercenaries launched an attack on Tripoli freeing the hostages, and ending the First Barbary War.
