In Villains of All Nations, author Marcus Rediker describes how the Royal Navy used this new technology to pursue and capture pirates in the late 19th century. New technology made the navy more powerful and allowed them to evolve with time, “Valuable piece of technology of the day, the deepsea sailing ship, especially small, fast, and well-armed craft,” (Rediker) He writes about the role of the steam-powered ironclad in the Battle of Simon's Bay, where the Royal Navy become faster and stronger when catching pirates and removing them from the sea. Throughout history, pirates heavily relied on their speed and agility to outrun and outmaneuver the navy vessels looking for them. However, steam-powered ships were a more efficient system, giving naval forces a decisive advantage over pirates. The steam-powered warship, armed with powerful artillery, was a huge upgrade in the fight against piracy.

Piracy, buccaneering and privateering are commonly confused with each other in media and literature. In this paper, all three will be evaluated separately on their impact on the Spanish and North American colonies in North America. This requires an explanation of the distinction between all three. Although very similar, these practices do hold some differences ; while piracy was the practice of illegally attacking and robbing ships at sea, privateering was privately-owned armed ships (usually pirates) that were issued a government commission and authorized for the use of war. Buccaneers were actually runaway sailors and deserters who arrived to the waters of the Caribbean Sea, where they kept themselves alive by roasting stolen cattle on makeshift

The 18th century was the golden age of piracy. Piracy was a common crime, and prevented many ships from reaching their destination with the cargo they set sail with. Many of these pirates reached such a level of infamy that their names have evolved into legends. Among these names are pirates like Captain Kidd, Black Bart, and possibly the most infamous of all, Blackbeard. Blackbeard, also known as Edward Teach, was a character that would strike fear into the hearts of his victims.

They needed so many slaves to do all of the work required to meet the demands. The Slave Ship the Brookes is a picture of what a slave ship looked like- how the slaves were packed into the ship (Document 5).

In Marcus Rediker’s Villains of All Nations, pirates Mary Read and Anne Bonny are represented as being vulnerable, emotional, extraordinary women. Both being born illegitimate children, Rediker poses an understanding, empathetic treatment of these women, despite their representation of ‘liberty’ emanating from the brutality of piracy. The constant referral to Read and Bonny as female pirates indiscreetly implies that Rediker interprets their participation in piracy as delicate, which is unjust. Females and delicateness were a dominant association in the 18th century. Rather than referring to the two women simply as pirates, Rediker uses the phrase female pirates to imply that their participation on ship was neither masculine nor violent.

Many sailors became pirates because their experience as merchant seaman was negative. Another way that men became pirates was when merchant vessels were seized by pirates and the seaman converted to piracy. Most men who became pirates were from the lowest social classes and were of British descent. Pirates, however, also derived from other nations, races and social classes. Rediker writes, “Pirate ships themselves might be considered multiracial maroon communities, in which rebels used the high seas as others used the mountains and the jungles” (56).

Being enslaved was not an easy job for African Americans. African Americans survived slavery through their connection with their culture. They then went on to contribute to the economic and social development of the South and America. African Americans survived the institution of slavery and Africanized the American South.
