Before our Revolution, our ships were protected on the high seas by the Brit's Royal Navy. After winning our freedom, the French protected our vessels in the Mediterranean for a few years but then we were on our own. So when Tripoli pirates started seizing our merchant ships and demanding ransoms for the crews, we paid. Until Tom Jeff had enough of it. In 1800 he decided to build a fleet of warships to protect ourselves and laid into the Tripoli pirates. Once the scoundrels got a taste of American firepower, they left us alone. The term "Leatherneck" described the thick leather collar our Marines wore around their necks to keep from being beheaded by muslim swords.

No the saddest part about this thread is your stupid contribution to it. Read a history book and learn something. The OP is spot on the money!
 
the Tripoli war treaty said that the us is not a Christian nation and not an enemy of Islam.
