Text of Note

The United States Congress passed An Act Authorizing an Additional Naval Force for the Suppression of Piracy on December 20, 1822. According to the act, the resulting naval force came into "immediate service, for the purpose of repressing piracy, and of affording effectual protection to the citizens and commerce of the United States in the Gulf of Mexico, and the seas and territories adjacent." The naval force became known as the West Indies Squadron. The United States, in a bid to remain diplomatically neutral, publicly declared a crusade against Caribbean pirates while at the same time assisting Spain with their privateer problem in order to complete negotiations for the Florida territory. An environment of piracy blossomed in the Western Hemisphere that revealed two groups of pirates operating in the Early Republic: patriot privateers and coastal bandits.
