Summary
A letter of marque and reprisal was a government license that authorized a private person, known as a privateer or corsair, to attack and capture vessels of a nation at war with the issuer. The author states that the activities of the Baltimore privateers "were so many and so varied that, taken as a whole, they represent a cross section of all privateering at the time."
