1. What is the central action of this image? (Answer: American naval ships are bombarding the city of Tripoli in North Africa. Large warships bomb the city while small gunboats defend the fleet. In the background, Tripoli burns.)
2. What does this image reveal about the state of the American military during the Democratic-Republican Jefferson administration? (Answer: Jefferson was a proponent of small government and small federal expenditures, and yet this image reveals that the U.S. Navy was robust enough to travel to the Mediterranean and wage a serious fight in the Barbary States. The image depicts an impressive number of vessels, many sailors, and a considerable amount of ammunition. Ultimately, Jefferson did sign a peace treaty with the Barbary States precisely because the battle was expensive.)
