Both left and right have been more than happy to perpetuate a huge lie in order to justify unilateral executive war powers never delegated to the president in the Constitution. They do this by telling a false story of how Thomas Jefferson responded to the Barbary Pirates in 1801. Learn what really happened with a timeline of events. The post The Big Lie: Jefferson and War with the Barbary States first appeared on Tenth Amendment Center.

So by the beginnings of the 1800's, the United States was starting to solidify itself as an actual nation, and beginning to spread westward.  But it was also beginning to spread eastward, in a way, because as an independent nation, it was developing a healthy trans-Atlantic trade network with the countries of western Europe and in the Mediterranean as well.  This meant of course, ships sailing across the Atlantic ocean, carrying American cargo and American sailors.  Our first problem with all this international commerce was the Barbary Pirates that I mentioned in episode 69, talking about Thomas Jefferson's first term as president.  But scaring off the pirates wasn't the only problem for our shipping industry.  Great Britain and France were fighting each other in the Napoleonic wars, and the US was trying to remain neutral.  Part of the reason for being neutral was that the US wanted to try to keep trading with both Great Britain and also France, but neither of those countries wanted the US trading with the other.  In other words, Great Britain didn't want the US trading with France, it only wanted the US to trade with themselves.   Website:  shortwalkthroughhistory.comemail:  shortwalkthroughhistory@gmail.com

Are we, as a nation, truly embracing our roots? Have we allowed the shifting sands of social ideology to obscure our reliance on God and the principles that once guided us? This episode of American Soul delves into these critical questions and more, dissecting our collective shift away from God and the effect this has on issues like the promotion of socialism and communism, illegal immigration, and the fragmentation of the family unit. We take an honest look at the state of our nation and emphasize the necessity of refocusing on our marriages, families, and faith as foundational pillars for a prosperous America.Jump back in time with us to the Barbary Wars and the Treaty of Tripoli as we dissect the driving motivations and actions of the Barbary Pirates. We also shine a spotlight on the role of the Muslim population in America and the urgent need to seek God's mercy and protection in these turbulent times. In this journey through our past, we aim to remind you of God's role in America's greatness. As we wrap up, we challenge the Christian community to live up to their faith, making it a valuable part of their everyday lives. In the words of Tolkien, we share a potent reminder of the power of change and end with a blessing for your marriages, families, and our great nation.Support the showThe American Soul Podcasthttps://www.buzzsprout.com/1791934/subscribe

At the very outset of his presidency, Thomas Jefferson faced a long-standing problem that was only getting worse. For nearly two decades, privateers supported by the Barbary States of the North African coast had preyed on American ships, seizing merchant vessels and cargo, holding crews for ransom and demanding tribute in exchange for ending their attacks. Following Jefferson's inauguration, the leader of one these states, Tripoli, stepped up these attacks and demanded more money. Long opposed to paying such tribute, President Jefferson acted quickly, deploying a squadron of U.S. Navy warships to the Mediterranean to protect American shipping. This seemingly out-of-character move by Jefferson set the stage for a bold act that would grab the world's attention and established a precedent for executive authority that reaches to the present day. In this episode of our In the Course of Human Events podcast, former U.S. Navy Captain and Monticello Guide David Thorson connects a sword hanging at the foot of Jefferson's bed to events almost 220 years ago and nearly 5,000 miles away. Joining him for this episode are Monticello's Director of Education and Visitor Programs, Steve Light, and its Web Content Developer, Beth Sawyer.

Algeria is a nation which is 99 percent Sunni Muslim. Islamic traditions really drive the nation in a large way. It dictates a lot of humanitarian issues, especially in regards to women, and it also dictates a lot of the judicial decisions. There is a great mixture of French and Arabic culture, and there is also a population of indigenous people, the Berber, who have influenced the culture as well. Learn about the Barbary Pirates, who lived in Algeria preying on merchant ships of many nations, and how they even halted further growth in settling of the coastal Mediterranean for a time, due to their relentless attacks. ·      00:00 – Intro  ·      01:20 – Bare Bones ·      03:11 – Heart of the Nation ·      01:09:43 – Who Is? ·      01:10:27 – Who Would've Thought?

In this eye-opening episode, historian Simon Webb explains the white slave trade in northern Africa between the 16th-19th century where the Barbary Pirates invaded islands and coastal towns of Europe and kidnapped Europeans - selling them into slavery. Simon also explains that contrary to what we think - the original inhabitants of Africa were not black but are a pale-skinned people called the Khoisan who are oriental in appearance that were mainly exterminated by the bantu (and the rest kept as slaves). Some of the remaining Khoisan live in Botswana.

How to understand what drives radical ideologies and recognize the best solution to the problem. In this short video documentary, we look at America's first venture into foreign diplomacy and conflict in the Middle East shortly after the nation's founding and consider how the same ideology President Thomas Jefferson confronted in America's struggle with the Barbary Pirates of North Africa drives terrorists today. We also consider how the problem can only be solved from within and that it's crucial to support moderates and reformers who risk their lives to speak out against and counter the ideology of religious extremism to help prevent and diffuse reactionary extremism on the far right that led to the mosque attack in New Zealand.

Many people who support unconstitutional executive war powers like to claim that Thomas Jefferson took the same approach in the early 1800s against the Barbary pirates. But, beyond knowing there was a conflict, they know little about the facts – and Jefferson’s approach, which supports a very restricted executive – as required by the Constitution. […]

One night in 1631, pirates from the Barbary coast stole ashore at the little Irish village of Baltimore and abducted 107 people to a life of slavery in Algiers -- a rare instance of African raiders seizing white slaves from the British Isles. In this week's episode of the Futility Closet podcast we'll describe the sack of Baltimore and the new life that awaited the captives in North Africa. We'll also save the Tower of London and puzzle over a controversial number. Intro: In 1999, inventor Allison Andrews proposed dividing all our pants in half.

Barbary Pirates fill a political vacuum in North Africa in the 1400's. Then in the 1500's, after the capture of Cairo, the Ottomans expand into the Mediterranean. Emperor Charles V captures the strategic city of Tunis in 1535 but Christendom soon after faces numerous setbacks against the Turks, most notably defeat the naval Battle of Preveza 1538 (pictured) See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

We're headed for North Africa this week to talk Barbary Pirates with Joshua London, author of Victory In Tripoli. He'll take us through the basic timeline of these events that happened soon after the American Revolution and how the Barbary pirates forced America's hand into creating a navy. We'll also talk about the various motivations behind writing a book on this subject, dealing with people reading stuff into it that may or may not be there... And kosher wine.  It all fits together.    Under The Crossbones is a podcast all about pirate culture.  Your host Phil Johnson (comedian, musician, and pirate geek) interviews the most interesting people in the pirate subculture: Actors, Authors, Historians, Musicians, Artists, Festival Founders, Clothing and Prop Designers, Treasure Hunters, Archaeologists, and more.

As the trans-Atlantic slave trade from sub-Saharan Africa to the Americas flourished in the 1500s, there was another slave trade that operate on an even larger scale. It was the capture of Europeans by north-African Muslims. Barbary Pirates enslaved an estimated 1 million Europeans in the period from 1500 to 1800.Enslavement was a real possibility for anyone who traveled in the Mediterranean or who lived along the shores in places like Italy, France, Spain and Portugal, and even as far north as England and Iceland. For example, in 1632, pirates captured the Irish city of Baltimore. They and others were snatched from their homes, taken in chains to the slave markets of Algiers and sold to the highest bidder. Some spent the rest of their lives rowing galleys. Others toiled in quarries or on farms. Attractive women were sent to harems and became a pasha's concubine. This episode looks at a little-known chapter in the history of slavery. Although few know the stories of these captives, the threat of piracy on the Mediterranean had a huge impact on the Western World. Thomas Jefferson developed the U.S. navy to eliminate the Barbary Threat. Miguel de Cervantes spent years in North Africa. Even John Smith of Pocahontas fame was a slave in Istanbul.Learn about this disturbing period in history and how it all came to an end in the early 1800s.

Paying Tribute to Iran Matt Fitzgibbons, PatriotMusic.com Recently, the President of the United States was discovered to have secretly organized a shipment of $440 million to Iran which happened to coincide with the release of four American prisoners held in Tehran. It was paid in foreign currency, ostensibly because it is illegal to pay U.S. Dollars to Iran. At least two more Americans have since been arrested. Was it a ransom or a tribute to Iran? For a thousand years (from the 9th to the 19th centuries) the four nation states of Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, and Libya, were known as the Barbary states. During this period, they were widely feared by anyone travelling by sea throughout the Western Mediterranean. From the cliffs above their ports, they would identify passing ships from miles away and ambush them with as many as 80 corsairs to kill, steal their cargo, crew and passengers and either hold them captive for ransom or sell them into slavery. They would, of course, pay a pre-negotiated sum to the State’s leader, and divide the rest amongst themselves, keeping the healthy and killing the rest. From the 16th to 19th centuries, Barbary Pirates sold as many as 1.25 million souls into slavery, raiding Italy and Spain so often that coastal villages there were considered too dangerous. At various times, their attacks reached as far as Iceland and Ireland. Algiers alone was said to have had as many as 20,000 captives at one time. Prisoners of wealth might secure their freedom through ransom but those less fortunate were doomed to a life of slavery. The more powerful European nations eventually negotiated treaties which required them to pay annual bribes (referred to as tributes) to enable their ships to be left alone. Periodically, the Barbary Pirates would break the treaties as an effective means of negotiating more money. But since the smaller nations were unable to afford the bribes, their ships were regular targets, which effectively reduced competition, driving up the value of the wealthier nations’ goods. It was simply the cost of doing business. Benjamin Franklin is said to have heard London merchants say, “if there were no Algiers, it would be worth England’s while to build one.” By the early 18th century, Great Britain’s Royal Navy had become so powerful; they could negotiate more modest tributes. If the pirates didn’t like it, England would sink enough of their ships or shell their ports until they agreed on a price. Up until the American War for Independence, America benefited from this arrangement as a British Colony. During the War, she was protected as an Ally of France under their treaties with the pirates. Afterwards, the Treaty of Paris officially ended America’s war with England, and then it was a very different story. In 1777, Morocco was the first nation to publicly recognize the United States and in 1784, it became the first Barbary state to seize an American vessel and its crew. While in England, having been commissioned by Congress to seek commercial treaties with that nation and Portugal, John Adams met the envoy from Tripoli. He said at the time that the man was either a saint or the devil himself but didn’t know which. American merchantmen in the Mediterranean were regularly murdered and sold into slavery but the envoy told Adams that “his only interest in life was to do good and make other people happy”, assuring him that Americans would be free to travel by sea unharmed for a million dollars or so. Adams would have preferred war over tribute, but knew that Congress neither had a Navy for war nor money for tribute. The then Minister to France, Thomas Jefferson, successfully negotiated a treaty with Morocco arranging for the return of the captured merchant ship Betesy and its crew. However, the treaty included an expensive tribute amounting to 1.5 million dollars, or 10% of the U.S. Federal Government’s annual expenditures each year for the next 15 years. The other three Barbary states saw an opportunity and attempted to extort exorbitant sums from the new republic through treaties which proved to be too expensive. In 1785 Algerian pirates captured the schooner Maria and Dauphin, demanding $600,000 each for the return of the ships and their crews. In 1786, when Jefferson and Adams went to London to negotiate with Tripoli’s envoy, they asked him why his people were making war with a nation that had done them no harm. Jefferson later wrote of the ambassador’s response as, “It was written in their Koran, that all nations which had not acknowledged the Prophet were sinners, whom it was the right and duty of the faithful to plunder and enslave; and that every mussulman who was slain in this warfare was sure to go to paradise.” The two crews languished in prison for over a decade. Jefferson advised Congress against paying tributes as he believed it would only lead to more attacks. Writing to his friend John Jay, Secretary of State to the Continental Congress, Jefferson said, “Weakness provokes insult and injury, while a condition to punish it often prevents it. This reasoning leads to the necessity of some naval force, that being the only weapon with which we can reach an enemy. I think it to our interest to punish the first insult: because an insult unpunished is the parent of many others. We are not at this moment in a condition to do it, but we should put ourselves into it as soon as possible.” Adams’ experience with the envoy from Tripoli directly lead to the creation of the U.S. Navy in 1794 with 6 frigates and it’s continued funding when he was elected the second President. And while Thomas Jefferson, the third President, did not share Adam’s commitment to expanding the expensive Navy, Adams had had the foresight to create a Navy which was now at Jefferson’s disposal. So on Jefferson’s inauguration when the Pasha of Tripoli demanded $225,000 up-front from Jefferson’s new administration, and an additional $50,000 per year, Jefferson refused. He would not allow the United States to sacrifice its honor by paying bribes, no matter what it was called or however old a tradition it was for European nations. The Pasha declared war. In 1801, the American schooner Enterprise, commanded by Lieutenant Andrew Sterret defeated the much larger 14-gun Tripolitan corsair Tripoli in a three-hour battle without a single American casualty. In 1802 Jefferson sent America’s best ships as part of a larger force to the region and ordered that all prisoners be treated humanely. In 1803, Commodore Edward Preble blockaded the Barbary ports and sent a small detachment of U.S. Marines to burn the captured U.S. Philadelphia which had run aground and been set up against them as a gun ship. British admiral, Horatio Nelson, purportedly referred to the episode as “the most bold and daring act of the age.” The American naval force attacked the Tripoli harbor while 8 Marines led by 1st Lieutenant Presley O’Bannon, with an army of 500 mercenaries, captured the city of Derna after a march from Alexandria across the desert. The pirates soon requested peace and $60,000 for the return of the American prisoners. This allowed Jefferson to make the distinction between paying ransom for prisoners and tribute as a bribe. In the early 1800s our young Republic had only 6 frigates, a small force of Marines and no standing Army. What they accomplished would be unbelievable had it not actually happened. But then, that is often the case when Americans are motivated by honor. Today, the United States have the most powerful military in human history but our allies don’t trust us and our enemies don’t fear us. Our current President announces a line and our enemies promptly cross it. When he negotiates with them, it emboldens them just as it did when our young nation naively paid tribute to the Barbary Pirates. Whether our President’s recent payment to Iran was a tribute or a ransom is irrelevant. The distinction no longer matters. The United States are in a far different position than we were in the early 1800s. Both are dishonorable. As Jefferson so wisely stated, “an insult unpunished is the parent of many others.”

When it comes to movies chock full of guns, John Milius’ classic semi-historical adventure, The Wind and the Lion, is going to come up eventually. Released in 1975 and set in 1904 in Morocco and the United States, it tells a story very loosely based on the kidnapping of Ion Perdecaris by the Mulai Ahmed el Raisuli, Last of the Barbary Pirates. We took the liberty of excerpting some of Jerry Goldsmith’s sweeping score to enhance this episode. Capt. Jerome, USMC: Captain Jerome, United States Marine Corps, and you are my prisoner, sir. The Bashaw of Tangier: You are a very dangerous man, Captain, and your President Roosevelt is mad. Jerome: (saluting) Yes, sir!

Between the 16th and 19th Centuries, hundreds of thousands of Europeans were captured by pirates known as the Barbary corsairs. Many spent the rest of their lives in slavery in North Africa. We hear the account of one English boy, Thomas Pellow, who was a slave of the Moroccan Sultan, Moulay Ismail, for 23 years.

America's First War On Foreign Soil - Part 2

In this first of a two part podcast, guest and co-host Christopher Rose from UT’s Center for Middle Eastern Studies walks us through the beginnings of European imperialism in the Middle East.

I will be releasing my booklet later this year entitled, the Cultural Jihad. This week I am covering some of the material in the booklet. Islam is at war with our civilization as they see it as man made and inherently evil. Good Muslims have a duty to make war on our civilization as they must see it as evil, wicked and the enemy to Islam.

David Grubbs moderates a conversation with Michial Farmer and Nathan Gilmour about some of the Federalist Papers dealing with the presidency. At the heart of the discussion is the gradual evolution of the office in response to technological and other social changes, most notably the rise in the twentieth century of the standing army. Among the writers, texts, and other realities we take on are Alexander Hamilton, Janissaries, standing militaries, the presidential pardon, and Barbary Pirates.
