    About this ebook

    Do you know who "Blackbeard the Pirate" was? Probably not! Born into a substantial family in Bristol, the eldest son of Capt. Edward and Elizabeth Thache sailed for Jamaica with his family sometime before 1695. Capt. Edward Thache of St. Jago de la Vega or "Spanish Town" died there at age 47 while his son, Edward "Blackbeard" Thache Jr. joined the Royal Navy and fought in Queen Anne's War aboard HMS Windsor. Thache resembled more a Robber Baron of the early 20th century than a poor downtrodden member of Benjamin Hornigold's "Flying Gang" in the Bahamas. Capt. Charles Johnson's "A General History of the Pyrates" is a flawed historical work and much of what we have previously known about Blackbeard is simply not true. This progressive 2nd electronic edition adds much more newly discovered material than the 1st in its attempt to rediscover exactly who Blackbeard really was and how he related to his maritime American "Pirate Nation!" Quite a few surprises are in store!

      Commentary: Kanye's Take On The 'Loyal Slave'

      May 9, 2018

      Kanye West, the self-proclaimed "voice of this generation," is now a bullhorn for bad history. His suggestion that 400 years of slavery (250 in North America) was somehow a "choice" made by the enslaved drew an immediate and fierce rebuttal from acro
