Pirates

Excerpt: One of the most famous pirates in the Carolinas was Blackbeard, whose real name was Edward Teach Thatch. In 1717 Blackbeard captured and converted a French merchantman into a 40 gun warship, Queen Anne's Revenge. In 1718 he established his base in a North Carolina inlet and made an arrangement with Charles Eden, then governor of the North Carlina colone. British Naval

forces later were able to kill Blackbeard and affixed his head to the of of the bowsprit of a 

British ship.
