it's not piracy if your government tells you it's okay for you to do it, it's privateering

Davy Jones is not a real person as far as any historian can tell. "Davy Jones' locker" is just a euphemism for "lost at the bottom of the sea"

But it wasn't HIS government. It was one he had no actual affiliation with and somehow convinced into supporting him.

He didn't do piracy as far as i know
Did he?

He did slavery and a bit of genocide, but i don't remember anything about piracy, would'nt really be much to pirate in the new world when there are basically no merchant ships there yet.

Or would this be in Europe, before all that?
I know very little about his pre-explorer days

Christopher Columbus was bad, therefore we label him as everything bad, even if he wasnt. Christopher Columbus was a Philadelphia Eagles fan!

Bluebeard wasn't a pirate. He was as serial killer.

It cannot be stressed enough how far one had to go in being cruel to the native peoples of America for fucking 16th-century Spaniards to decide that you were an inhuman monster and for the Crown to go through the trouble of actually arresting some one across the Atlantic Ocean and hauling them all the way back to Spain to try them.

Literally the Spanish were genociding all through the Americas and also in Andalusia, and they thought Columbus was terrible.

46 posts and not one mention of Francis Drake, who literally had a bounty on his head by the Spanish government, has a cave in Chile associated with him called the cave of the pirate, and much like the person in this topic's title, has also has been on the receiving end of renaming a bunch of things in the states because now we're realizing maybe he's a colossal sleazeball.

okay, i googled "Was Columbus a pirate" and now i'm even more confused cause the results are very conflicting:

"Christopher Columbus was not a pirate. His ships did not attack and rob other ships while at sea."

"Shiver me timbers! Before he was an explorer, Columbus started his career on the high seas as a pirate, according to some theories.....It's more likely this is an embellishment"

"The first recorded pirates of the Caribbean were the Admiral of the Ocean Sea,
Christopher Columbus"

"No, Columbus was not a pirate. He was an Italian explorer and trader"
