Скачать или смотреть Blackbeard Had an Incredibly Short Career - How History Works

How did Blackbeard manage to be one of the most well-known pirates while only being one for two years? From 1716 to 1718, Blackbeard terrorized the seas, but he accomplished a lot during those two years.

During his brief but infamous career, Blackbeard became known for his distinctive appearance, which included a long beard and numerous weapons. But he was actually incredibly successful capturing over 40 ships. He also had a reputation for being ruthless and would often intimidate his victims by lighting fuses in his beard, creating a fearsome spectacle.

His most famous loot was the blockade of Charleston, South Carolina in 1718. He blockaded the port for a week and demanded a chest of medicine in exchange for lifting the blockade. The governor of South Carolina eventually acquiesced, and Blackbeard sailed away with the treasure.
