The Secret Alliances Between History's Most Notorious Buccaneers and Colonial America Was classical piracy an earlier version of state-sponsored terrorism? Here's the story of how almost every well-known buccaneer of the “Golden Age of Piracy” enjoyed active sponsorship from England's governors in the American colonies- setting a pattern of official disobedience to the Crown that would ultimately contribute to the American push for independence. Relying on rare primary sources discovered in government archives in England, the Carolinas, Rhode Island, Jamaica, and elsewhere, Burgess combines true tales of derring-do with groundbreaking research in this fascinating history.

"From Roman times, pirates were known as hostis humani generi, "enemies of the human race." This special definition distinguished pirates from all other criminals and meant they could be hunted down across the earth without consideration for borders or extradition treaties. This at least was the international rhetoric, but reality in colonial America was a different story." "When Rhode Island gentleman - and infamous pirate - Thomas Tew began his notorious career in the early 1690s, it was with the official sanction of Bermuda Governor Isaac Richier. When he returned to Newport in 1693 loaded down with "a prince's ransom worth of stolen gold, silver, and sundry goods," he was given a hero's welcome and met at the dock by Rhode Island Governor Samuel Cranston, who presented him at Newport society dinners and made him the toast of the town. Later, for a fee of 500 pounds sterling, Cranston gave Tew another license to "harass the French." In 1694, looking for backers for yet another pirating voyage, Tew traveled to New York, where he was met by Governor Benjamin Fletcher and was "highly caressed by His Excellency, in a coach and six horses, and presented with a gold watch to engage him to make New York his port at his return."" "Nor was Thomas Tew the only pirate to enjoy the support of governors, leading citizens, and merchants. Blackbeard, Captain Kidd, Henry Every - almost every infamous scoundrel of the "Golden Age of Piracy" (roughly 1660 to 1725) - did their plundering under the sponsorship and protection of England's colonial governors in the Americas. And virtually every governor was on the take. Pirates entertained merchants and their families aboard ships in New York Harbor and auctioned booty from the docks of Virginia's port towns." "Combining true tales of derring-do with revelations he unearthed from forgotten government archives in England, the Carolinas, Rhode Island, Jamaica, and elsewhere, Douglas Burgess demonstrates how this flaunting of England's prerogatives helped shape the American character and American notions of independence."--BOOK JACKET.

The seventeenth-century war on piracy is remembered as a triumph for the English state and her Atlantic colonies. Yet it was piracy and illicit trade that drove a wedge between them, imperiling the American enterprise and bringing the colonies to the verge of rebellion. In The Politics of Piracy, competing criminalities become a lens to examine England's legal relationship with America. In contrast to the rough, unlettered stereotypes associated with them, pirates and illicit traders moved easily in colonial society, attaining respectability and even political office. The goods they provided became a cornerstone of colonial trade, transforming port cities from barren outposts into rich and extravagant capitals. This transformation reached the political sphere as well, as colonial governors furnished local mariners with privateering commissions, presided over prize courts that validated stolen wares, and fiercely defended their prerogatives as vice-admirals. By the end of the century, the social and political structures erected in the colonies to protect illicit trade came to represent a new and potent force: nothing less than an independent American legal system. Tensions between Crown and colonies presage, and may predestine, the ultimate dissolution of their relationship in 1776. Exhaustively researched and rich with anecdotes about the pirates and their pursuers, The Politics of Piracy will be a fascinating read for scholars, enthusiasts, and anyone with an interest in the wild and tumultuous world of the Atlantic buccaneers.

Fall captive to the code—the real-life buccaneer bylaws that shaped every aspect of a pirate’s life. Pirates have long captured our imaginations with images of cutlass-wielding swashbucklers, eye patches, and buried treasure. But what was life really like on a pirate ship? Piracy was a risky, sometimes deadly occupation, and strict orders were essential for everyone’s survival. These “Laws” were sets of rules that determined everything from how much each pirate earned from their plunder to compensation for injuries, punishments, and even the entertainment allowed on ships. These rules became known as the “Pirates’ Code,” which all pirates had to publicly swear by. Using primary sources like eyewitness accounts, trial proceedings, and maritime logs, this book explains how each one of the pirate codes was the key to pirates’ success in battle, on sea, and on land.
