Jefferson was opposed to paying tribute to the Barbary states as he saw it as yielding to piracy and extortion. He believed in taking a strong stance against the Barbary powers through military force. In contrast, John Adams was initially in favor of paying tribute to protect American interests and avoid war, but he later changed his position and supported Jefferson's view of using military force to prevent future tributes.
Thomas Jefferson decided to stop paying tribute to the Barbary pirates because he believed it was a form of extortion and only encouraged further attacks. He chose to attack them instead to show strength and deter future piracy.
