Who he was

Blackbeard, most likely named Edward Teach or Thatch, was an English pirate who raided the Caribbean and the coast of the American colonies. In 1717 he seized a French slave ship and made it his flagship, the Queen Anne’s Revenge, and in 1718 he blockaded the port of Charleston.

Captain Johnson’s history says he went into battle with lit matches under his hat. Later that year a Royal Navy party killed him in a fight off North Carolina.
