What 2 Events that happened when Thomas Jefferson was president??

Question

There were 2 well-known and important events that happened when Thomas Jefferson was president.

One was the Lewis and Clark Expedition. The other one, you gotta try and get it. (HINT: in the 2nd line of the Marine Corps motto, it talks about Tripoli. That's in Italy and that Tripoli is referring to this 2nd even that I am talking about). Think along the lines of pirates.... that should give it away!!
Specifially, what kind of pirates were these certain ones called?
Basically, they attacked ships or received tribute-pay them for safe passage..except England, these pirates feared England.

However, Thomas Jefferson had to stop this, because America was just forming, and despite the huge debt. Ships attacked affects trade, which affects American economy. Thomas Jefferson did get the pirates to stop attacking..

So, 2 questions.. whats the other important, well-known event under Thomas Jefferson, and what were these pirates called?

Good luck. I hope yall learn some history.

Answer 1

Simple, The pirates where called the Barbary pirates. The second part of your question is the Declaration of Independence was signed by Thomas Jefferson.

Answer 2

Thomas Jefferson used half of the budget of the USA to buy what was called Louisiana, hence the "Louisiana Purchase" from Napoleon because Napoleon wanted cash to fund his war with Russia. This cost us five million dollars. Look at an old map and you will see how vast this territory was. Only then did he send out Lewis and Clark to chart it.

Answer 3

Louisiana Purchase possibly. Ummm, no... the Declaration of Independance came approximately 25 years before his presidency.

Answer 4

Jacky Martlin quit and Artie Lang took over

Answer 5

Privateers.
