THOMAS JEFFERSON AND THE TRIPOLI PIRATES: The Forgotten War That Changed American History
In 1801, pirates from North Africa's Barbary Coast routinely captured American merchant ships and held the sailors as slaves, demanding payments far beyond what the new country could afford. When diplomatic options failed, Thomas Jefferson decided to blockade Tripoli, launching the Barbary Wars and beginning America's journey to superpower status. Color photos.
