Detailed explanation-1: -The combination of a strong American naval blockade and an overland expedition from Egypt finally brought the war to a close, with a treaty of peace (June 4, 1805) favourable to the United States. The other Barbary rulers, though considerably chastened, continued to receive some tribute until 1816.
Detailed explanation-2: -The war brought an end to the American practice of paying tribute to the pirate states and helped mark the beginning of the end of piracy in that region, which had been rampant in the days of Ottoman domination (16th–18th centuries).
Detailed explanation-3: -Barbary corsairs led attacks upon American merchant shipping in an attempt to extort ransom for the lives of captured sailors, and ultimately tribute from the United States to avoid further attacks, as they had with the various European states.
Detailed explanation-4: -The story of America’s four-year war against the Barbary pirates, our first war against terrorists and the nations that harbor them. What became known as the Barbary War forced Americans who had disbanded the Continental navy to establish a new U.S. Navy and Marine Corps.
