Algiers,
One of the former Barbary States on the northern coast of Africa, stretching west from Egypt to the Atlantic Ocean; bombarded and captured by the French in 1830, and held under French military control till 1871, when a French civil administration was established.
All of Algeria is now considered a part of France rather than a colony.
The city of Algiers, under French domination, is the capital of the department and colony, is well equipped with educational institutions, and has become as orderly as any place in France.
The population in 1891 was 82.585.
The Barbary States derived their name from the Berbers, the ancient inhabitants.
From their ports, especially from Algiers, went out piratical vessels to depredate upon the commerce of other peoples.
So early as 1785 two American vessels had been captured by these corsairs, and their crews (twenty-one persons) had been held in slavery for ransom.
The Dey, or ruler, of Algiers demanded $60,000 for their redemption.
