HOLLIS BOSTON AND NEW YORK HOUGHTON, MIFFLIN AND COMPANY 1901 3 COPYRIGHT, 1900, BY IRA N. HOLLIS ALL RIGHTS RESERVED PEEFACE The history of the Frigate Constitution is un- dertaken in order to bring within the pages of one volume all the events which go to make a long and interesting career upon the sea. It is the outgrowth of a short article for the " Atlantic Monthly " to commemorate the hundredth anniversary of the vessel's launch. She has so long been a favorite topic for stoiytellers and writers that nothing new remains to be told. It is rather a case for recall- ing much that has been forgotten. As the forma- tion and service of the sailing navy supply the background which brings our ship into stronger perspective, all the circumstances which had an in- fluence upon her design, construction, and employ- ment are given. WhUe, therefore, in no sense a history of the Navy, it forms* a reasonably con- nected narrative of naval events, and particularly of our good old frigate.

  • 'Intrepid Sailors: the Legacy of Preble's Boys and the Tripoli Campaign'
    H-War Rogers on Reid, 'Intrepid Sailors: The Legacy of Preble's Boys and the Tripoli Campaign' Review published on Sunday, July 14, 2013 Chipp Reid. Intrepid Sailors: The Legacy of Preble's Boys and the Tripoli Campaign. Annapolis: Naval Institute Press, 2012. xii + 295 pp. $35.95 (cloth), ISBN 978-1-61251-117-7. Reviewed by Greg Rogers (University of Maine) Published on H-War (July, 2013) Commissioned by Margaret Sankey The last decade has witnessed a renewed interest in the history of the United States’ conflict with the Barbary pirate states of North Africa.[1] In addition to the bicentennial of the First Barbary War (1801-1805), the events of September 11, the subsequent War on Terror, and the spate of pirate attacks off the coast of Somalia have served to turn the attention of historians and the reading public alike to early nineteenth-century struggles that went understudied for the past half century or so. The result has been the publication of works interested in a variety of topics and themes, ranging from parallels to the twenty-first century War on Terror to the role of American diplomacy and capitalism. Similarly, the authors of this body of literature have targeted academics, military history buffs, general audiences, and everybody in between. Chipp Reid’s 2012 Intrepid Sailors offers a narrative where the “great deeds” of “great men” had very real effects on not only the institutional development of the United States Navy but also the international standing of the new Republic a generation after its birth (p. ix).

  • “The Fewer the Men, the Greater the Honor”: the Naval Doctrine of Republicanism in the First Barbary War
    “THE FEWER THE MEN, THE GREATER THE HONOR”: THE NAVAL DOCTRINE OF REPUBLICANISM IN THE FIRST BARBARY WAR by PARKER BLAKE BEDNASEK Submitted to the Department of History of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for departmental honors Approved by: _________________________ Name Dr. Marie Brown _________________________ Name CDR. Joseph Cooper _________________________ Name Dr. Sheyda Jahanbani _________________________ Date Defended Abstract The First Barbary War was a naval conflict fought between the United States and Tripoli from 1801-1805 over the payment of “tribute” to Tripoli so they would not seize American merchant ships. The Jefferson Administration believed that the war would not take more than a few months but it ended up lasting a desultory four years. There were two main theoretical concepts that impacted the war – the idea of the proper role and size of a republican military power and the internal struggle of the U.S. Navy for professionalism and leadership. These two concepts influenced the development of the naval doctrine of republicanism for the U.S. Navy which can be characterized by limited size, firm, yet humane leadership, and aggressiveness toward the enemy. This doctrine is best exemplified by Commodore Edward Preble’s who had a great impact on the young naval officers who fought under him and who would come to lead the U.S. Navy for years afterwards. 1 Introduction Our exasperating experiences with the Barbary States of northern Africa, continuing for a generation after the United States had won its independence, constitute an interesting chapter of American history and one from which we may derive permanently valuable lessons.

  • The Life and Times of John Rodgers the First Barbary War, 1801-1805
    The Life and Times of John Rodgers The First Barbary War, 1801-1805 The First Barbary War was between the United States and the four North African states known collectively as the Barbary States. Three of these were nominal provinces of the Ottoman Empire, but in practice autonomous: Tripoli, Algiers, and Tunis. The fourth was the independent Sultanate of Morocco. The cause of the war was pirates from the Barbary States seizing American merchant ships and holding the crews for ransom, demanding the U.S. pay tribute to the Barbary rulers. United States President Thomas Jefferson refused to pay this tribute. On 10 May 1801, the Bashaw of Triploi declared war on the U.S. by cutting down the flagstaff in front of the U.S. Consulate. Algiers and Tunis did not follow their ally in Tripoli. After four years of conflict, peace was established by the signing of a treaty on June 10, 1805. The war was beneficial to the reputation of the United States' military which had been up to that time relatively untested. The war also showed that America could execute a war far from home. The United States Navy and Marines became a permanent part of the American government and American history. John Rogers' service during the Barbary Wars Rodgers was placed in command of the John Adams on May 3 1802 and ordered to sail for Tripoli where he joined the Constitution, the President and other vessels. He approached Tripoli and engaged the gunboats and batteries defending the city. Twelve days later her engaged and captured the Tripolian vessel Meshouda, bearing 20 guns.

  • P.1 AMERICA's FIRST MIDDLE EAST CRISIS by Robin U. Russin The
    “Middle East”/Russin/ p.1 AMERICA'S FIRST MIDDLE EAST CRISIS by Robin U. Russin The situation in the middle east is an infuriating stalemate. Americans abroad have been seized, some tortured to death, by militant Islamic groups at war with the United States and each other. Freedom of navigation is in jeopardy. The incumbent President's administration is fundamentally divided: some want to strike back, while others advocate a negotiated ransom. The opposing super- powers exploit the situation to their advantage, ignoring or even colluding with the terrorists. At first, envoys are secretly dispatched to the Arabs with money, arms, and symbolic tokens of American goodwill. Even foreign priests are enlisted. A few hostages are released, but more are seized, and the demands increase. The President loses his re-election bid. The popular new President bombs Tripoli and rallies public opinion, but real results are elusive. And then a young officer experienced in dealing with the Islamic despots comes to him with an audacious plan. It will require covert funding, and a crack commando squad. The plan is tentatively agreed to. In spite of the risk to both men and national prestige, President Thomas Jefferson decides to send in the Marines. It is always unfair to draw parallels between widely separated periods in history; innumerable variables make true comparison impossible. Still, as the United States enters its third century, harassed by intractable powers abroad and hamstrung by lack of answers at home, it is astonishing and perhaps instructive to recall how our country faced a similar challenge when it was barely into its third decade.

BORSALI Fewzi President: Mr. Abidi Abdelwahid Examiner: Miss.Kerthiou Omayma Academic Year 2018-2019 ii Dedication I dedicate this humble work to my dearest wife “Green Purity”, my daughter Alaa Zohra, and my son Haythem. iii Acknowledgements I owe a special debt to my supervisor Pr. BORSALI Fawzi for being kind enough to spend his time reading and correcting this dessertation, and for his guidance and advice along the supervision .May "Allah" reward him. I am very grateful as well to all English Department professors, doctors and teachers, especially Mr. Abidi who encouraged me to carry on my studies in the Master degree. I am truly thankful to my brothers and sisters especially Hamid, Abd Alkrim, Sayyad, Sherif, Hadja, Nadia, Warda, and Samira to whom I am deeply indebted for their moral and financial support. iv Abstract Wars that flare between one country and another are mainly due to the oppressive policies applied on the weakest country. However, the constant oppression leads a country first, to subdue, then, to resist and to fight back when obtaining power. The American- Barbary wars 1801-1816 are a clear example for the oppressive policies that the Barbary States practiced on the United States. After the independence, American ships were unable to sail in the Mediterranean Sea due to the piratical practices of the Barbary States.
