In 1787, at the height of the debate over the Constitution in Philadelphia, news reached legislators that American sailors had once again been taken hostage by pirates from the Barbary States. Despite a desire to respond but with no central government, the new American Republic had no means to create a naval force.Enter an anonymously written book - "The Algerine Spy in Pennsylvania" or, "Letters Written by a Native of Algiers on the Affairs of the United States in America".
