Synopsis
Excerpt from American Consular Service
The Carthaginians were the corsairs or pirates of the Mediterranean from the beginning of their history, just as their descendants, the natives of Tunis and Tripoli, were when Commodore Decatur made his brilliant descent upon them in 1815, and put an end to their piratical depre dations on American commerce.
