- The life and death of Blackbeard the Pirate
- In Colonial North Carolina, page 2.8
- Captain Blackbeard (born Edward Teach) was one of the most notorious pirates of the Atlantic Ocean in the 1710s. As captain of the ship "Queen Anne's Revenge," Blackbeard gained a reuptation for his frightening appearance as much as for his violence and cruelty. Between his adventures at sea, Blackbeard often returned to North Carolina and was rumored to have a house in Ocracoke. He enjoyed the tolerance of the North Carolina governor who did little to protect the people of the state from Blackbeard's attacks. Exasperated, North Carolinians appealed to the governor of Virginia, who sent a crew of British Naval officers to fight the pirate. On November 22, 1718, the crew succeeded in killing the infamous Blackbeard.
