The US war with those states features in this book about the founding of the US navy. Interesting read. "Six Frigates: The Epic History of the Founding of the U.S. Navy" - https://www.amazon.com/Six-Frigates-Epic-History-Founding/dp...

The conflict between the desire not to have a Navy and the problems being caused by pirates presented interesting arguments for both sides. The conflict generated the conditions to build the 6 frigates.
