At the time of the American Revolution, several North African states (Tripoli, Morocco etc - the Barbary Coast) were pirating hotspots. With its independence, America lost its protection from this pirating - protection provided by England before the war and France during. As Presdent in 1801, Thomas Jefferson refused to pay protection (the usual method to avoid confrontation) and Tripoli declared war on the US. Jefferson sent naval vessels to the Mediteranean in response. Subseqent wartime action led to the "shores of Tripoli" line in the US Marine Corps Hymn.
