Stede's life story is a great illustration for the saying “The beauty of their women and the taste of their food make brits the best sailors in the world.”
I noticed a trend with historical figures which is that whenever they get married, the wife is often a catalyst for decisions that place them in the storybooks.
Man O' War was a term used for pretty much any seagoing vessel outfitted for combat, a warship, if you will. Not just the big 3-decked galleons with hundreds of cannons.
I was just watching "our flag means death" when this video popped up. The timing couldn't be better, I get to remind myself again that the real Stede Bonnet was actually more incompetent than the show depicts, also he wasn't actually gay or in a relationship with blackbeard.
There's actually a show that's loosely based on Stede Bonnet's misadventures at sea called Our Flag Means Death, it's very good and makes Stede a lovable goofball of sorts, so if you like his story you should definetly check it out, especially since it hasn't been renewed for it's 3 and final season and if more pople watch it there will be a higher chance that it will.
Black Beard strikes me as the most honest and pacifist pirate. He always used intimidation to avoid harm and seemed to have a relatively proper code of conduct
Aww mate! I've been waiting for you to react to this! And here I thought I'm gonna be bored this morning. Gotta get a cup of coffee and some chips for this

Nothing drives a man to adventure as hard as a terrible person for a wife
My pirate knowledge comes from Pirates of the Caribbean, AC IV: Black Flag, and Black Sails.
This is my favorite Internet historian's video!!! Yarrrrr!!!

Actually, they were specifically five decked ships with dozens of cannons on either side.
I’ve got a cross section book about them
@@ALJ9000 The meaning changed multiple times throughout history. During carribean piracy, Man O' War meant a warship.
But one thing was very true, it was a stupid decision to attack it.
37:58 I went and checked the front door, that damm knocking sounded so real in headphones.

Where did that gay remark came from? 😂
@@aoihitori Probably “filmmakers” wanting to write fan fiction
I'm sure you already heard this but the Taika Watiti show Our Flag Means Death is based on the same subject matter, second season came out recently

Nobody cares about Tika's gay pirate show

Aside from when he randomly shoots members of his own crew for a laugh

Yess I needed an internet historian reaction for some reason
As a Bajan I was completely caught by surprise to hear Barbados mentioned in an IH video lol

You have a pirate book stashed somewhere? I guess you could say it's buried treasure?
A better watch than Tika Waititi's gay pirate show about Bonnet
