*HISTORY*

(from HistoryDaily.com)
February 16, 2005 on this day:

In 1804, an American force commanded by Lieutenant Stephen Decatur attacked the Tripoli pirates. America was paying tribute to these pirates who for decades had preyed on commercial shipping. President Thomas Jefferson decided to stop this and sent a fleet to the Barbary Coast. During an engagement the pirates captured the U.S. Frigate Philadelphia and held the crew for ransom. Although Jefferson ransomed the crew, American forces attacked across the Libyan Desert and defeated the pirates.
