The Potomac Legion
Regimental History
The Potomac Legion was founded during the Barbary Wars where the United States invaded North Africa in 1801 to handle the Barbary Pirates. The Potomac Legion's original task was to defend Washington D.C against Barbary Pirates to ensure that the population of D.C nor its important citizens were held at ransom for outstanding prices. The Legion would be responsible for the defense of pirate land raids, slave revolts, civil unrest, etc..... The Potomac Legion would go on to be the force which guarded Washington during these rough times, and moreover the surrounding cities and towns within the states of Maryland, Virginia, and Pennsylvania. After the Barbary Wars, the Potomac Legion would be stationed at Washington D.C till the war of 1812 where they would be deployed for military service.
