Looking at the Events of the Barbary Wars or the War with Tripoli (1801-1805)
Together
These events are included only to show some of the
diversity of Jefferson in use of power and his construction of the
Constitution. (Sources: Morris[1],
p. 149; “Barbary Wars” by William Earl Weeks, in Oxford[2],
p. 63) |
