What was the founding father's position on going to war?
Obviously this depended on the individual. Thomas Jefferson was a pacifist of the first order,and, therefore, would certainly have been anti-war (even though he did send our fledgling Navy, built by John Adams, and nearly cancelled by Jefferson) to fight the pirates of the North African Barbary Coast. Adams understood the importance of a strong defense, certainly Washington understood that unique decisiveness that comes from warfare. Madison will be the first president to actually ask for and receive a Declaration of War in 1812, and will become one of only two sitting presidents ever to lead American troops in the field. (the other was Washington when he personally led troops to put down the Whiskey Rebellion during his administration) So each had his own unique thoughts on the matter and fortunately were level-headed enough to avoid most conflict.
Which president fought a war with pirates?
The Barbary Pirates were North Africans who captured, looted and sank American merchant ships. In order for the ships to get by the merchant ships had been paying a tribute to them, but Jefferson was elected President in 1800 and declared he would not pay one penny as tribute to the pirates. Therefore, he sent a battleship to end the blockade. However, the ship was sunk and another ship was captured. Jefferson payed $60,000 in ransom for the ship and its crew and signed a peace treaty with the pirates. This ordeal humiliated the United States but also made Jefferson realize the need for a naval force.
