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. The demand was refused, and a naval force was sent from the US to blockade Tripoli. Whoever wrote the first answer is an idiot.
