I started reading up more on Blackbeard after watching this documentary(?). I had no idea Blackbeard's life was as complicated and interesting as it is portrayed here. That said, I would not take anything presented here (in this post or others I may show you) as any sort of gospel. The fact is societies view of history is always changing. Changing with the either new information or as a reflection of changing norms. More so, many so called documentaries need to embellish or just plain make up stories just to keep viewers interest. The moral of the story, always do your own homework.... but enjoy the journey.
