the united states ,too,had to pay tribute to the Barbary coast state. the ruler of Tripoli, how ever, did not think it was enough.
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.
The first Barbary War also called Tripolitan War, fought from 1801 through 1805.
Thomas Jefferson was the President during this undeclared war with the pirates of Tripoli ,also called the first Barbary War in 1801-1805.
In May 1801, the pasha demanded an increase inthe tribute($83,000) which the U.S. government had been paying since 1796 for the protection of their commerce from piracy under the 1796 treaty with Tripoli.
