Watched “Our Flags Mean Death” on HBOMax and got curious if it was based on a real person. What the hell, he was real! I am pretty sure I watched this video when it came out and forgot, but had me thinking while watching the Television Show, “Do I already know this?” Thanks for being a UA-cam Channel of dense and obscure historical information, but should be more common knowledge. You fills in holes in my dictated and regulated American School’s History Books.
And the show played heavily on actual events, like him pairing up with Blackbeard, and how Blackbeard never was attributed with killing anyone...he actually preferred to not kill anyone and use his prestige and myths surrounding him to scare his foes.
@@DinomotoMennovi technically Sir Francis Drake was a pirate in the eyes of everyone except the British. He's not exactly a bad choice for a role model. Neither is Henry Avery, who took the largest score in pirate history, escaped, and disappeared from history. In fact, most pirates weren't pillaging, town raiding rapists. The truth of the matter is, pirates were usually privateers who were abandoned by the country they served, and seeking a measure of revenge for the betrayal. While Naval vessels of the time were run like floating dictatorships, pirate vessels generally operated as maritime democracies. Courses, scores, and ports-of-call were chosen by committee, and scores were split fairly according to rank and length of service. Furthermore, pirates weren't in the business of slave trading, unlike the Navies they regularly engaged. Rather, pirates regularly seized slave ships, freed the "cargo", and left the slavers in the hands of their former captives. Any freed slave who wished to join a pirate crew was usually welcomed with open arms, as well. In most cases the stigma surrounding pirates is no more than sensationalist propaganda that was disseminated by the Spanish, English, and Dutch crowns. Pirates were dangerous folk, but they had to be. Pacifism would have meant certain death for any privateer after their commissions were revoked.
Not going to lie, I clicked on this largely because I knew that one of my ancestors (William Rhett) was going to show up eventually. Still, really well done history. From what the family tells, he wasn't specifically looking for Bonnet when he went out hunting for pirates. He definitely was looking for him though when he caught him again on Sullivan's Island.
There's a certain percent of loot that goes to the crew for every raid. I've loved pirates for years and I'm so happy to see them getting popular because of OFMD :)
interesting seeing the historical storyline behind it too! It seems like they start the show when stede's injured and blackbeard takes over the ship in his absence but ignore their previous history of working under his fleet. I wonder where season 2 will go!
“It’s unlikely he went into piracy to get away from his wife. Thats a crazy motive.” Bonnet: _you’ve clearly never met my wife, she’s like, the _*_worst_*_ ._
Sorry, he wasn’t a queer, he was married with 4 children and decided she was crazy and couldn’t live with her anymore. He bought a ship”revenge “ and left her. Although they portrayed him as a fag in the series, he was not. I am his 8th generation granddaughter
@@kileyrowe8091 purely political, they do it with everything because they want to act as if it's always been accepted but truth is that even the so called ok to be gay greeks by all sources considered man on man sexual relations to be debauchery, pederasty was common but both greeks and especially romans looked at it with argus eyes, in fact ceasar laughed away and even confirmed many alegations of him sleeping around (for roman elites this was considdered shamefull) but one thing he opposed hard is the accusation that he had engaged passive xxx (receiving) with a former mentor. greeks themselves depicted sexual acts like this on vases but those showed saters, pretty much the creatures known for being debaucherous fiends, meaning these were meant as insult not as much else (homosexuallity wasn't a concept prior to the modern age btw, hence why i have not used the term, they didn't classify people on sexuality, in the medieval period they spoke of sodomy but this also included anal xxx or oral xxx or any act of it that was considdered to not serve reproduction, and truth be told none of the above actively persecuted people for it, the romans did once hunt down an xxx cult over reports of doing it with children of both sexes but even so when people were procecuted over sexual acts it was usually in times of crisis that couldn't be explained easily and usually in wartorn or suffering regions persecution only started in ernest in the modern age, enlightenment, people who were not "normal" have to "cured" so they invented ways to try to do so, like electroshock therapy, here the term homosexuality emerges, now the sexuality becomes a group identity

Hi my homosexual friend. Do you think Black Beard and Bonnet had a relationship? I was shocked when I saw the kiss on the show, because I have been told that Blackbeard had a lot of wives. So maybe Blackbeard was bisexual and Bonnet was just gay?
@@Dave-te5bs I honestly don't think the show creators cared much for historical accuracy and so I guess I don't either! It is an interesting idea that they might have seen each other romantically but we'll never know so I'm not going to waste braincells over it ya know
@@Dave-te5bs On the show it's pretty open-ended about his orientation. He definitely loves Stede and slept with Calico Jack, so there's that, but he also has that line about being "massaged to death by mermaids," so I think bi is a fair interpretation, if not set in stone. Stede is definitely meant to be gay, though. IRL though? There's literally no way to know, and in any case the number of alleged wives is so comically large that it could loop back around to "I have a girlfriend in Canada" territory.
For this channel, whenever they do a pirate video it does well. Therefore, by YT logic, if a video does well try and replicate that success. Although I’m sure other factors were involved. Notably a certain unorthodox historian.
@Ethan Schmidt Why would they copy this video? Also, the "Sundance Rejects" video is definely older than a day. Old enough to inspire the writer of this script.
@@teogonzalez7957 I've done editing and animation in the past for school work. I know how long it takes to make these kind of videos. But that does not mean they didn't get the idea from IH or Count Dankcula. What is the most time consuming is the fact they would have to do research and condense it into the 20 minute informative format that this channel is known for. While they would have gotten around to Stede eventually, he clearly got priority. Not hating, but to call this a "coincidence" is bollocks.
this was recommended to me right after I watched Our Flag Means Death (brilliant show btw), and I must say, I was surprised by the few things that matched with the show
I say Stede Bonnet can serve the best example of how you can have everything but still not be satisfied with your life. And while he might not have been the best pirate ever, the fact that we are still talking about him today makes this one of the most successful mid-life crisis of all time.
Weeeeelp Android TV is spying on me. I just started watching "Our Flag Means Death" last night and today here we are getting this on a channel I am not subscribed to nor usually watch.
It was said in his journal that he began to become obsessed with pirates. Blackbeard and a far previous pirate named Henry Every. Make another one of that, people would love stede bonnets journal. I watched a documentary about it. Its boring at first, but then it gets good. However, if anyone has watched "Our flag means death" and its a show about him. Everything is accurate, but there are some speculations of other things. But one part of that show is inaccurate and that's towards the end. The government at the time did not use a shooting squad to kill Bonnet and his crew, they were hung. So yeah. A d this guy basically clarified that last part.
Thank you, he was hung after being captured in cape fear s. Carolina.. he’s my grandfather generations back. My linage was well documented and I learned that he was grandpa in 1972, when my father ,son of descendant Edward bonnet’ , researched our family crest.
1:50 - Chapter 1 - Early years 4:55 - Chapter 2 - A pirate's life for me 7:40 - Chapter 3 - Bonnet meet Blackbeard 14:00 - Chapter 4 - A pirate's life for me...again 16:00 - Chapter 5 - Battle of cape fear river
Blackbeard at least let Stede basically cruise on his ship to read and lounge in his pajamas like in the show, so I like to think they clicked as friends at some point. They hung out and worked alongside each other for way too long for Blackbeard to always have wanted to betray him, and the show definitely is onto something by suggesting they could have connected on a deeper emotional level considering that Blackbeard might've had a similar background to Stede complete with a skill in marketing his image (just as fearsome instead of gentlemanly) and an aversion to killing.
Did anyone in these replies actually watch the video??? Yes, I'm sure the guy that was essentially imprisoned and betrayed by blackbeard was secretly gay with him. 🤦

Hey Simon! On this subject I feel like you should do Grutte Pier next, the famous berserker Pirate who weilded a 6ft claymore and once beheaded seven people with one swing! He's a little known figure that's incredibly interesting. Thanks! I love your videos, they keep me entertained through this pandemic more than Netflix ever could. Lol
stede bonnet is my great great great great grandfather , probably a lot more greats but, his ship was the revenge, and he carried a legacy for my family

obligatory “here from ofmd” comment. hi fellow gay pirate enjoyers
Maybe he wanted to be popular. Which now he is. Thanks to Our Flag Means Death.
I'm just surprised there hasn't been a Charles Vane bio yet!! I can imagine that's an interesting story.
I want it now!
0:51 Simons' mind: What's wrong with this idiot. He had everything then he became a damn pirate. The fool!! Fool! Haha😆😁
What do we say? Talk it through...
As a crew 😌
this is one hell of a Our Flag Means Death pre-breakdown
"Some historians claim that Stede Bonnet was one of the few real pirates to actually make prisoners walk the plank"
Oh my God. I'm here just after 2x06, u know guys? Oh my God.
Never heard of Stede in all of my 40+ years as a born and bred Barbadian and living in Barbados. Learn something new everyday
Anyone else come here wanting to learn more about Steve Bonnet after playing Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag?
i watched the whole of our flag means death and had no idea that stede bonnet was real person. i knew blackbeard was, but for some reason never considered bonnet could be
No they did not copy Internet Historian. They’ve been doing pirate biographics for a while now so Stede was bound to get his own video at some point.
steeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Every episode: you can’t trust Charles Johnson!
Also every episode: this information is from Charles Johnson
Oh no, Simon working so hard on all these channels he's losing his hair 😢
🤣🤣🤣🤣
The pirate Francis Drake would make for a good Biographics
It's time Biographics had a "Pirates" playlist.
Hey Simon! On this subject I feel like you should do Grutte Pier next, the famous berserker Pirate who weilded a 6ft claymore and once beheaded seven people with one swing! He's a little known figure that's incredibly interesting. Thanks! I love your videos, they keep me entertained through this pandemic more than Netflix ever could. Lol
stede bonnet is my great great great great grandfather , probably a lot more greats but, his ship was the revenge, and he carried a legacy for my family
