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 (OCoLC)fst01355170 648 7 $a 1800 - 1899 $2 fast 650 0 $a Pirates $z Africa, North $x History $y 19th century. 650 0 $a Pirates $z Mediterranean Region $x History $y 19th century. 650 7 $a Pirates. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01064776 651 0 $a United States $x History $y Tripolitan War, 1801-1805. 651 7 $a Africa, North. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01239515 651 7 $a Mediterranean Region. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01239752 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 655 7 $a Audiobooks. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Audiobooks. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01726208 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 700 1 $a Yaeger, Don, $e author. 700 1 $a Kilmeade, Brian, $e narrator. 941 $a 8 945 $a cda 952 $l EYPC755 $d 20240117010711.0 952 $l FXPH314 $d 20220909035935.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20211103010110.0 952 $l BWPD851 $d 20210714011845.0 952 $l GDPF771 $d 20191005013203.0 952 $l KSPG296 $d 20170328011103.0 952 $l TRPE062 $d 20160607015016.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20160202014338.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=6BEBD510C97B11E5960577D3DAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
