Captives and Countrymen: Barbary Slavery and the American Public, 1785-1816

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--and the government's apparent inability to control the situation--deeply scarred the public. Captives and Countrymen examines the effect of these acts on early national culture and on the new republic's conception of itself and its position in the world.
