This new chapter talks about “Fighting Pirates."
The pirates interfered with the commerce in the Gulf of
Mexico. Therefore, on August 31, 1879 Captain Jairus Loomis of Louisiana took
by assault the ship of the pirate Jean Lafitte. The captain liberated to many
prisoners captured. In addition, the captain Loomis also set in the search the
pirates. Thus, there were American ships to enforce a trade blockade with their
enemy Napoleon France. On the other hand, the British were supplying to Native
Americans with armaments and inciting them to attack American settlers.
Moreover, in the xx century, the U.S. Revenue Cutter Service proved to be a seagoing police force
that they were prepared for the battle. Therefore, the U.S. Revenue Cutter
Service provided an invaluable service in the Civil War. After years, in 1915,
the U.S. Revenue Cutter Service was joined with the U.S. Life-Saving Service.
This new service was called the U.S. Coast Guard.
Comments
This new chapter becomes very interesting because it
tells that there were clashes between soldiers and pirates. It is also
entertaining because most of this chapter has action scenes.123
I think this chapter seems very sad because it has alot of prblemes in these country. also, I heard about people who died in civil war .
ReplyDeleteI read your summery. I reminded about pirates. In the past, I taught piracy is related about liberty because I taught that behavior against the government or countries. However, now I know that behavior is very vicious and crudity because I heard some news about piracy.
