Captives And Countrymen

In the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries the Barbary States captured and held for ransom nearly five hundred American sailors. The attacks on Americans abroad deeply scarred the public. This work examines the effect of these acts on early national culture and on the republic's conception of itself and its position in the world.
