admittedly i do not know enough about blackbeard specifically to confirm or deny whether he was involved in slave trading (possible but i just dont remember a source) but they could have made a gay pirate show about black sam bellamy and have it be Less Problematic TM very easily to be fucking honest. black sam (he was white but had black hair and refused to wear wigs) used to scare slave traders by being weird and naked on his ship then attacked them while they were confused and freed the slaves many of which joined his crew. and also he was the so-called Prince of Pirates and had the most ships out of everyone and was generally cool. and he also had a bestie called Paulsgrave Williams (cool name wtf) with whom he sailed the high seas although he also had a wife to whom he was trying to come back to when he got rich but he died in a storm. but like his story is also absolutely amazing as a source material for a tv show

hiya, i just read ur 2022(i think??) post about israel hands and the connection with israel hynde, and i was wondering if u remembered ur source?? i cant find anything linking him to cpt. bartholomew roberts, or any specifics regarding his personal characteristics (such as the leg injury u mentioned). ive gone through execution records and found his notation of his trial and hanging, but nothing else. no probs if u dont have it anymore or dont recall, or got the info another way. thanks!!

Hi, I can still remember four of them because I wrote them down somewhere else than the others. Unfortunately, I lost my notebook, which contained all the sources, texts and so on. But here are the four sources.
