When Thomas Jefferson became president in 1801, America faced a crisis. The new nation was deeply in debt and needed its economy to grow quickly, but its merchant ships were under attack. Pirates from North Africa's Barbary Coast routinely captured American sailors and held them as slaves, demanding ransom and tribute payments far beyond what the new country could afford. So President Jefferson decided to move beyond diplomacy. He sent the U.S. Navy's new warships and a detachment of marines to blockade Tripoli, launching the Barbary Wars and beginning America's journey toward future superpower status. 611 27 $a Tripolitan War (United States : 1801-1805) $2 fast $0 (local)201147 650 0 $a Pirates $z Africa, North $x History $y 19th century. $0 (local)17405 650 0 $a Pirates $z Mediterranean Region $x History $y 19th century. $0 (local)201148 651 0 $a United States $x History $y Tripolitan War, 1801-1805. $0 (local)17406 651 7 $a Africa, North. $0 (local)201149 651 7 $a Mediterranean Region. $0 (local)201150 651 7 $a United States. $0 (local)65583 655 7 $a Audiobooks. $2 lcgft $0 (local)3250 700 1 $a Yeager, Don, $e author. $0 (local)201151 700 1 $a Kilmeade, Brian, $e narrator. $0 (local)201152 941 $a 6 945 $a cda 952 $l KAPF566 $d 20230331012912.0 952 $l MBPE423 $d 20180717034833.0 952 $l VKPE334 $d 20160308013235.0 952 $l ZVPB675 $d 20160301114842.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20160225010107.0 952 $l AXPF626 $d 20160120013237.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=362E7EFABF4411E5B286A9D6DAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
