“From the halls of Montezuma...to the shores of Tripoli.”
We have an entire generation who fail to understand who and what the Barbary Pirates were, how they held hundreds of Americans in slavery, and how the United States reacted to their acts of naval terrorism. Another fine example of the failures within our education system.
