The Barbary Pirates of the Mediterranian Sea.

∙ 13y ago
Thomas Jefferson refused to pay tribute to the Barbary pirates, who were demanding payment in exchange for not attacking American ships and capturing American sailors. He believed that paying tribute only encouraged further acts of piracy and instead advocated for military action to protect American interests. This eventually led to the First Barbary War.
