There were two Barbary wars. The first one lasted from 1801 to 1805 and the second one took place in 1815. Both were fought on the Barbary Coast.
The Barbary Corsairs, sometimes called the Ottoman Corsairs or Barbary Pirates, were pirates that raided American, African, and European countries' coasts. They were part of the Ottoman Empire's Barbary States and were a major part of the Slave Selling by kidnapping over 1.5 million Christians to sell as slaves.
The United States Marines attacked the shores of Tripoli in 1805 during the First Barbary War. This conflict was fought between the United States and the Barbary States of North Africa, including Tripoli, which were demanding tribute payments for safe passage in the Mediterranean Sea.
The term "Barbary Corsairs" is just another term meaning "Barbary Pirates" who were a group of privateers from Moracco, Algeirs, Tripoli, and Tunis. They pillaged ships in the Mediterranean Sea and demanded tribute be paid or else the crew would be captured and most likely made slaves.
Thomas Jefferson sent the Marines to Tripoli because Pirates were attacking U.S. shipping along the northern coast of Africa. The independent Ottoman states of Morocco, Tunis, and Algiers, known collectively as the Barbary Coast, were the home to the Barbary Pirates. The first Barbary War was from 1801-1805.

United States
Jefferson refused to pay protection money on the Barbary states
Tripoli was the Barbary Coast state that declared war on the United States in 1801
Jefferson chose to blockade Tripoli, which was one of the Barbary States, in 1801. The blockade was a response to Tripoli's demand for increased tribute payments from the United States. This ultimately led to the First Barbary War.

I believe that is was The Barbary States.
It was a haven for pirates who were attacking US ships.
The Barbary's 'Circle' made raids successful; the pirates would round up young Christians against the sea coast trapping them between the coast and the armed Barbary pirates forming a circle. But to do this the pirates needed large numbers of raiders.
