Barbary Pirates
Controversy-
Barbary Pirates were Muslim pirates who operated from North African ports. They had become "unconventional enemy" of the United States on the issue of payment of tributes to these pirates
Federalists-
- Supported the tradition of paying off these pirates the demanded tribute with the opinion that this would keep the American navy safe.
- Raised the slogan "Millions for defense, but not one cent for tribute" to justify their stand.
Jeffersonians-
- President Jefferson and his supported were opposed to the idea of paying tributes to the pirates.
- They believed that continued payment of tribute would eventually increase the demand
- Jefferson announced that he was discontinuing the payment of tribute
- He declared naval attacks on the pirate ships
Resolution-
- Jefferson's defensive military actions paid results.
- He had stated the attack without seeking the formal declaration of war from the Congress
- Later, on seeking formal action, the Congress passed "Act of Protection Force to subdue, seize, and make prize of all vessels, goods and effects, belonging to the Bey of Tripoli, or to his subject".
- Eventually US military action was successful and even the Federalists began to claim the credits for this success.
