Bad history. Lets adds some facts. The war with Tripoli ended with Jefferson's representative Tobias Lear agreeing to pay Tripoli the ransom. The Marines performed heroically more than you indicate. Their march through the Libyan desert from Egypt with a force of Greek mercenaries and rebel tribesman loyal to the Bey of Tripoli's brother to capture the city of Derna is an epic that deserves treatment on the movie screen. However, the ending of this episode did not bring glory to the US. Lear's negotiation with the Bey left our allies in Derna swinging in the breeze. Jefferson's administration pulled the Marines out prematurely, sound familiar. The commander of the expedition, William Eaton, went to his grave with a hatred for Thomas Jefferson. He saw the ending of the war as a disgrace. As for 1815, the war was with Algiers, not Tripoli for one. That one was more conclusive. It featured a real pummeling of the Algerine fleet. However the Barbary Pirate period ended with the end of continental warfare after the Congress of Vienna. Algiers, the biggest of the North African states, was militarily destroyed and occupied by France twenty years after. I would suggest that instead of googling, people should actually read real history books. A great read is “The Pirate Coast”.
