If you picture the Caribbean during the early 1700's, don't just think of palm trees and calm seas. Instead think chaos, cannons, and rum. The Golden Age of Piracy was a wild, 25 year stretch when thousands of sailors abandoned ordinary life and became pirates. Grab your scabbard and your grog and join in the adventures of individual pirates such as Black Sam Bellamy, Benjamin Hornigold, and Blackbeard. We will be explore the role of pirates in creating a unique democracy while causing serious economic and political disruptions for Spain and other world powers. And we will also see how their bold behavior and actions influenced Colonial America and why their legacy still sails strong today.
