043 The New Republic: Harbor Defense and the founding of the US Navy

In this episode we continue to explore the Federalist's military

Navy. With Napoleon on the offensive in Europe and the Barbary
states capturing American merchant ships, Congress took action to
protect our shores and American interests overseas. Take a
listen!
