Why did the US go to war with the barbary pirates?
The Barbary Pirates required that all nations whose ships sailed the Mediterranean pay a protection fee. Jefferson was very hesitant to continue doing this. "Tribute or war is the usual alternative of these Barbary Pirates. Why not build a navy and decide on war?" he had said. Finally in 1801, the pasha of Tripoli had had enough and ordered the flagpole of the American consulate chopped down, clearly declaring war.

Why do you think the Barbary pirates felt free to demand tribute from the US?
They thought that the range of US merchant ships, which traded throughout the Mediterranean and which were generally easy prey, was greater than the effective range of the US Navy. At the time, that estimate was entirely correct. The US Navy had just sold off its only remaining warship in order to cover debts and was powerless to protect merchant ships. Extorting tribute from the US was, at the time, a risk-free proposition. The attacks of the Barbary pirates spurred the US government to fund and build more warships (the "original six frigates") in order to better protect merchants and ultimately to end the threat of the pirates.
