To stop the pirates from looting and plundering US ships. In the years before the war, the US had no Navy, but a lot of rum. Argh!
The US refused to pay the Barbary pirates and formed an armed force to fight them.
The piracy and other military problems caused by the Barbary pirates led to the USA's overseas battles. The pirates operated out of ports in North Africa. They harassed US shipping. They were important as to end these attacks by them the USA had to begin its Navy. The US Navy finally put an end to their attacks on US shipping by sending a warship and Marines to the Tripoli port used by the pirates.

The Barbary Pirates required that all nations whose ships sailed the Mediterranean pay a protection fee. Jefferson was very hesitant to continue doing this. "Tribute or war is the usual alternative of these Barbary Pirates. Why not build a navy and decide on war?" he had said. Finally in 1801, the pasha of Tripoli had had enough and ordered the flagpole of the American consulate chopped down, clearly declaring war.
