being the true and surprising story of the Caribbean pirates and the man who brought them down
Presents the story of the Pirate Republic formed by pirate captains including Blackbeard, Black Sam Bellamy, and Charles Vane. They created a crude democracy with crews largely composed of runaway slaves and indentured servants who craved a measure of freedom. For a brief period the pirates cut off Britain, France, and Spain from their New World empires until a man named Woodes Rogers overcame them.
