While Washington was president, the French essentially protected American shipping from these pirates. Under Adams. the US paid tribute money to the pirates even though Adams who had negotiated with them before was president hated the idea, but feared the US navy was not strong enough to stand up to them . When Jefferson became president, the US refused to pay and a small war resulted which the US eventually won and also won some European respect for its naval power.
