OK, let’s talk about Pirates

The Golden Age of Caribbean Piracy 1700-1725

Few pirates have had the effect on commerce and pop culture that Blackbeard has. From 1716 to 1718, Blackbeard ruled the Atlantic in his massive flagship Queen Anne's Revenge, at the time one of the most powerful ships in the world. In battle, he would stick smoking wicks in his long black hair and beard, giving him the look of an angry demon: many sailors believed he really was the devil. He even went out in style, fighting to the death on November 22, 1718.

Journal Assignment – French and Indian War

How did the French and Indian War affect your character?

How does the loss of New France affect your friends, relatives and neighbors?

How does the fact that the majority of Native Americans sided with the French affect your opinion of Indians? You would end up eventually having many more restrictions and taxes as a result.
