So, fun fact about the Barbary Wars... The US Federal government at the time didn't have much in the way of a stand-alone Navy. It was difficult to protect American merchant ships at first because the anti-federal government folks were opposed to the idea of the federal government having a powerful Navy/military in general. Or at least that's what I read in this book a couple years ago.
