The Barbary pirates, operating from North Africa's Barbary Coast, primarily preyed on European merchant ships and American vessels from the late 16th century to the early 19th century. They targeted these ships for ransom, enslaving crew members and demanding payments for their release. Their activities prompted significant naval responses from various nations, including the United States and European powers, leading to military confrontations such as the Barbary Wars.

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.
