We’ll tie a bow on the Tripolitan War and take a look at how key players handled life after peace. This episode also discusses how the American public, and some members of Congress, felt about Lear’s decision for peace. We’ll finish up with some stats and a quick look at how the world started to see United States Marines after this battle.
