The Barbary pirates demanded tribute from American merchant vessels in the Mediterranean Sea. If they failed to pay, the pirates would attack the ship, take their goods, and often enslave crew members or hold them for ransom.

Answer: The Barbary rulers frequently demanded that nations renew their treaties for even greater amounts of tribute. Therefore a nation agreed to new terms, its ships remained fair game for the pirates.

Explanation: I don’t know I just done this before.
