Who stopped the barbary pirates?
Traders ran great risks, especially in the Mediterranean Sea. Pirates from the Barbary States, the nations along the coast of North Africa, attacked passing vessels. To protect American ships, the United States paid a yearly tribute, or bribe, to rulers of Barbary States such as Tripoli.In 1801, Tripoli increased its demands. When Jefferson refused to pay, Tripoli declared war on the United States. Jefferson then ordered the navy to blockade the port of Tripoli.During the blockade, the American ship Philadelphia ran aground near Tripoli. Pirates boarded the ship and hauled the crew off to prison. The pirates planned to use the Philadelphiato attack other ships. To prevent this, American naval officer Stephen Decatur and his crew quietly sailed into Tripoli harbor by night. They then set the captured American ship on fire.In the meantime, American marines landed on the coast of North Africa. They marched 500 miles to launch a surprise attack on Tripoli. In 1805, the ruler of Tripoli signed a treaty promising not to interfere with American ships.

How did Stephen Douglas want people to decide about slavery?
Stephen Douglas proposed the idea of popular sovereignty, which allowed residents in each territory to vote on whether or not to allow slavery. He believed this approach would prevent the federal government from imposing its views on the territories and let the residents decide for themselves.
How did Jefferson end the Barbary state pirates?
He didn't really end them but he did make them think twice about attacking U.S. ships. As U.S. Minister to France under President George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, decided to send envoys to Morocco and Algeria to try to purchase treaties and the freedoms of the captured sailors held by Algeria. Morocco was the first Barbary Coast state to sign a treaty with the U.S. on June 23, 1786. This treaty formally ended all Moroccan piracy against American shipping interests. Specifically, Article 6 of the treaty states that if any Americans captured by Moroccans or other Barbary Coast states dock at a Moroccan city, said Americans would be set free and come under the protection of the Moroccan state. Other Barbary states were less accommodating. More U.S. ships were captured and huge ransoms demanded for the release of the crews and ships. Jefferson argued that paying tribute would encourage more attacks. Continuing demand for tribute ultimately led to the formation of the United States Department of the Navy, founded in 1798 in order to prevent further piracy attacks upon American shipping as well as to end the extremely large demand for tribute from the Barbary States. Immediately prior to Jefferson's inauguration as president in 1801, Congress passed naval legislation that, among other things, provided for six frigates that 'shall be officered and manned as the President of the United States may direct...' On Jefferson's inauguration as president in 1801, Yusuf Karamanli, the Pasha (or Bashaw) of Tripoli, demanded $225,000 from the new administration. (In 1800, Federal revenues totaled a little over $10 million.) Putting his long-held beliefs into practice, Jefferson refused the demand. The Pasha responded by declaring war on the U.S. For the next 4 or 5 years, the U.S. was essentially at war. (Although Congress never officially declared war the actions they authorized and funded amounted to the same thing.) At the direction of Jefferson, the U.S. Navy, along with foreign allies defended shipping, fought ships of the pirates, and blockaded ports used by the pirates. The turning point in the war came with the Battle of Derna (April-May 1805). Ex-consul William Eaton, who went by the rank of general, and US Marine First Lieutenant Presley O'Bannon led a mixed force of eight United States Marines, 500 mercenaries--Greeks from Crete, Arabs, and Berbers-on a march across the desert from Alexandria, Egypt to assault and to capture the Tripolitan city of Derna. (This is the origin of the line in the Marine Corps Hymn about "the shores of Tripoli"). By this time the leader of the pirates was tired the blockade and raids, and now under threat of a continued advance on Tripoli proper. A treaty was signed ending hostilities, swapping prisoners, and ransoming the U.S. sailors who were considered slaves by the pirates. The overall problem of Barbary piracy was not fully settled though until the Second Barbary War in 1815 (after the end of the War of 1812).
What are pirates made of?
Pirates are normal human beings. basically a Pirate is a sea fairing theif. most films portray Pirates as smart, witty, inteligent people. with fancy hats with feathers, parrots on their shoulders. real pirates are nothing like this. being at sea for most the time, they're usually (or were, there aren't many pirates around nowerdays) diseased, dirty, smelly and drunk. pirates often ate Limes, a type of fruit, to prevent scurvy, which is a disease of the gum which makes teeth fall out. being at sea water was hard to come by, as sea water is dangerous. milk would sour, and pop hadn't been made yet. Alcohol is the only liquid substance that wouldn't go out of date. though a drinking diet that consists only of alocohol is very bad for you, its the only thing they could drink. i belive Rum, at this point in time was very cheap, which is why pirates in films alway drink rum.
Stephen Douglas's response to slavery?
Stephen Douglas was a proponent of popular sovereignty, believing that individual territories should decide for themselves whether to permit or prohibit slavery. He supported the idea of maintaining the Union even if it meant compromising on issues such as slavery, as seen in the Kansas-Nebraska Act. Douglas argued that these compromises were necessary to prevent civil war.
