Tunisian Envoy & The Barbary Pirates
Barbary Pirates
Jefferson opposed paying ransom to the pirates since this appeasement could only lead to further demands.
Why? When America was a British colony the Royal Navy protected American Ships from the pirates and during the revolution America's alliance with France protected them but after the revolution America had to fend for herself.
Where? the Barbary Coast: Tripoli, Tunis, Morocco, and Algiers along the Mediterranean Sea
What? Pirates attacking American Ships off of the Northern Coast of Africa.
