The wars against the Barbary pirates not only signaled the determination of the United States to throw off its tributary status, liberate its citizens from slavery in North Africa, and reassert its right to trade freely upon the seas: they enabled America to regain its sense of national dignity.

By the time the fighting was over the young republic bore the unmistakable marks of a nation destined to play a major role in inteational affairs.
