The Barbary pirates, sometimes called Barbary corsairs or Ottoman corsairs, were pirates andprivateers who operated from North Africa, based primarily in the ports of Algiers, Tunis and Tripoli. This area was known in Europe as the Barbary Coast, a term derived from the name of its Berberinhabitants. Their predation extended throughout the Mediterranean, south along West Africa'sAtlantic seaboard and even South America,[1] and into the North Atlantic as far north as Iceland, but they primarily operated in the western Mediterranean. In addition to seizing ships, they engaged in Razzias, raids on European coastal towns and villages, mainly in Italy, France, Spain, and Portugal, but also in Great Britain and Ireland, the Netherlands and as far away as Iceland. The main purpose of their attacks was to captureChristianslaves for the Muslim market in North Africa and the Middle East.[2]

y do they not teach this in most middle schools?:mindblown: when Washington, John Adams, jefferson and all those guys were involved with this.......and there are some parallels to what's going on now with the Muslims.
I have to read up more about this! I'm fukking Amazed this was never taught in school. Its seems like such an important part of American history. I mean they are the reason the US even formed a Navy. :whoo:

The story of African slavery is actually get back from what these nikkas did to them cacs, once upon a time.

Oddly, they advanced under this system and im sure the cac feels the same way about the opportunities slavery has provided black people.
