      Unknown5 maybe their desire for tresure helped the pirates to feel not as bad for what they did

    • @africanchild5935
      @africanchild5935 7 років тому +49

      Unknown5 yeah, I think a lot of these torture methods are to complex to be true. I also think pirates may have lied to make themselves sound worse than the really were. Not only that I think the English officials may have also over stated the cruelty to make English citizens hate the Pirates even more.

      There are many, many diaries, letters and other related records of pirate attacks that show almost all men sailing the seas at that time were extremely cruel and barbaric, whether they were pirates or not. Even into the 1940s, English Naval ships were known for their vicious punishments, and continued an ancient practice of using young cabin boys as sex slaves while at sea. Unfortunately, as a long time history student, I have come across too much evidence that shows the pirates weren't the only psychopaths sailing!!!

    One can see why the English ended up dealing with most pirates by hanging.
    Considering the conduct of many pirates this was a pretty mild way to execute such
    criminals. It is hard to believe that all pirates were simply hanged and not tormented to
    suffer the same tortures they inflicted on others.

      Blackbeard was actually pretty civil to his captives, he knew that if the crew knew they wouldn't be killed or tortured they would be more likely to surrender without a fight instead of fighting for their lives. Probably why he was so successful.

    Theres a big difference between piracy and state approved piracy, which was called privateering. Piracy meant you would go after all ships, privateering meant you would only go after ships from countries that your government wants you to. Privateering was legal, piracy was not.

They had to leave Wales because anyone related to Bart was considered guilty by blood. A lot of family history is lost in the Mid 1700s when the pirate was at his height of infamy, he took more than 500 ships in his career.

    Honorable Mention: Grace O'Malley also known as Gráinne Mhaol. The daughter of an Irish Chieftain who lived around the same time as Elizabeth the 1st. Her motives were out of revenge due to the ill treatment of the Irish by the encroaching British. There is a tale where after 2 of her relatives were wrongly accused of crimes against the crown, she herself went to plead her case with the Queen in person. She got her pardon secured & it was said that they became firm friends. Both women passed away from old age in the same year.

But, she was the most successful.

      SCARSSURVIVED but yea man, i'm a chicano mexican/Californian i thank God for it. what the cartels do is very brutal. reading about miguel trevino morales is already crazy enough. i believe he & his men even behaved as cannibals eating their victims on a dinner night. shit i would rather be captured by isis than any mexican cartel.

    Edward Teach ( Blackbeard )has been described by Johnson as a bloody monster with a face like a frightful meteor. Yet when it comes to brutality, Edward Low's horrid acts would have even made Edward Teach "gasp!!!"Blackbeard was a good and honorable person compared to Edward Low and Frances Spriggs!!! As far as pirates go, Blackbeard was almost as tame as Stede Bonnet.

    But if number 1 was eaten by cannibals and nothing was left of him then how do we know he was eaten? who told the tale and how did we find out? a genuine question because I am curious!

    You are a narrator sir in the highest degree, anyone i show this to says the same thing and i quote 26 people "he has a voice you could listen to for days with anticipation." I already felt that 2 years ago but the testing needed to be done for me to not sound silly just saying 'your good" in an asinine way. God im such a nerd.

      There are only a few documented paintings or etchings of real pirates. Most are conjectural from later time periods.
