1780's? I'll take it.

I'm not a historian by any stretch of the imagination, but I can't recall any time in the 1780s that the U.S. surrendered to terrorists.

I was referring to the adoption of the constitution. However, the 1780’s WAS the first time that we surrendered to terrorists. We began paying ransom to Barbary pirates in 1784.
