Quasi-War
During the United States' preoccupation with France during the Quasi-War, troubles with the Barbary States were suppressed by the payment of a tribute to ensure that American merchant ships were not harassed and seized.[43] In 1801 Yusuf Karamanli of Tripoli, dissatisfied with the amount of tribute he was receiving in comparison to Algiers, demanded an immediate payment of $250,000.[44] In response, Thomas Jefferson sent a squadron of frigates to protect American merchant ships in the Mediterranean and to pursue peace with the Barbary States.[45][46] The first squadron, under the command of Commodore Richard Dale[clarification needed] in President, was instructed to escort merchant ships through the Mediterranean and negotiate with leaders of the Barbary States.[45] A second squadron was assembled under the command of Captain Richard Valentine Morris[clarification needed] in Chesapeake; however, the performance of Morris's squadron was so poor that he was recalled and subsequently dismissed from the Navy in 1803.[47] A third squadron was assembled under the command of Edward Preble in Constitution and by mid-1804 they had successfully fought the Battle of Tripoli Harbor.[48]
