      Huh and this is what Babylon teach the youth. No wonder violence is shown in movies and portrayed then people wonder why there's shootings ? I really enjoy listening Peter Tosh's song You Can't Blame The Youth- Babylon Queendom. Which goes like *"Teach the youth about Christopher Columbus and you said he was a very great man!/ Teach the youth about Marco Polo and you said he was a very great man!/ Teach the youth about the Pirates Hawkins and you said he was a very great man!/ Teach the youth about the Pirates Morgan and you said he was a very great man/ But all these men were doing were; robbing, raping, kidnapping and killing/ Babylon your Queendom has fallen!"*
      I never actually knew who the Pirates Hawkins and Morgan were until now and now I know they were

    Due to poor planning (by Capt. Morgan) the rogues that marched through the swamps in Panama didn't have enough food. They were very hungry when they came out of the jungle to face the Spaniards. Imagine to their relief the image of hundreds of steaks on the hoof headed their way courtesy of Panama's Mayor. Needless to say, yes there were plenty of cattle hurt and eaten during this scene. Way to go Capt. Morgan.

    I'm related to Admiral Sir Henry John Morgan on my mother's side, and the images of him are not correct at all, you can find paintings of what he really looked like in the United Kingdom. Artists dream up images of him and they should do better research in my opinion, but then I'm related to him and legends are not something I find interesting about family history, facts and the truth of a matter are more interesting to me for the reality of the man. He did make King Charles the Second wealthy dealing with the Spanish, also the silver pieces of eight was the first currency used in the newly formed United States years later. Admiral Sir Henry John Morgan's ancestors in the Carolina's also donated the land the oldest University in North Carolina is built on. I have copies of the maps of that gift and know all my ancestors on that side all the way back to the time of Christ just about... on my mother's side of the family. See a lot of you historians really get the facts mixed up from the real documents of events from history and many do not seem to do the research too well... and find that very interesting... history at times is more like legend than truth... but this is interesting what you have to say narrator. Fact mixed with fiction for the imagination of past events so many can not envision too well. Especially in the paintings and art work people have done not realizing the United Kingdom does have paintings that do exist of the real Admiral Sir Henry John Morgan. Pencoed Castle where some of the Morgan family lived in Wales and where Morgan's wife was from, he married his first cousin Mary... which Royalty of that time thought was normal to keep a blood line intact... is unique. Pencoed when the Morgan family was there in history entertained King Charles the First before he was executed. The Morgan family made the United Kingdom or England quite wealthy when Admiral Sir Henry Morgan dealt with the war with Spain, and King Charles the Second had a lot of illegitimate children and he was looking for a cure for syphilis of all things... and people seemed to like... if I put in modern terms... the Playboy King... a lot... and he did a lot better than King Charles the First. Of course some on the Morgan side of the family fought against the King of England as well, and got expelled from England for that but later they were forgiven by King Charles the Second. Pencoed Castle was recently up for auction since the last person that owned that property killed his lady consort and went to prison for it... he killed her at Pencoed Castle in Wales and was giving her ten grand a month to be his lady consort... and have not checked into that recently after Pencoed Castle's auction... due to my own issues in life. I do like the fact Admiral Sir Henry John Morgan named his flag ship "Satisfaction" ... for that concept of the time in duels and such in life. Wish some times that was still legal to do. LOL! I do have his temper when dealing with people and one of my sisters seeing his real paintings told me I look a lot like him. If I was rich I would have bid on Pencoed Castle, in Wales, some of it is inhabitable with people living there now, but the bidding for the Castle started at about one million dollars US funds... and I've had organ transplants and my donor's first name was Morgan which is bizarre, and lost a leg... and some times I wonder if it was because in the past my ancestor Admiral Sir Henry John Morgan married his first cousin, which isn't too bright in modern thinking but in that time, they did not know that kind of stuff is a bit ignorant to say the least. Interesting, thanks for the work making the video, wish you all had the time to take it deeper with accuracy but this is decent enough... wanted to write as I think about what he had done for the United Kingdom and the United States when he was an Admiral for King Charles the Second. Have a nice day... wish all of you the best.
