Edward Tech

Edward Teach, also known as Blackbeard, was a notorious English pirate who operated around the West Indies and the eastern coast of Britain's North American colonies during the early 18th century. He is one of the most famous pirates in history.

Tuscarora War

The Tuscarora War was fought in North Carolina from 1711 to 1715 between European settlers and the Tuscarora Native Americans. The conflict arose from escalating tensions over land encroachment, the enslavement of Native Americans, and unfair trade practices by the colonists. Led by Chief Hancock, the Tuscarora launched a series of attacks on colonial settlements, particularly New Bern. The war resulted in significant casualties for both sides and ultimately led to the defeat of the Tuscarora, many of whom migrated north to join the Iroquois Confederacy.

Blackbeard

Blackbeard, whose real name was Edward Teach, was a famous English pirate who terrorized the West Indies and North American colonies in the early 18th century. He was renowned for his intimidating presence, often lighting wicks in his beard to create a fearsome image in battle. His flagship was the "Queen Anne's Revenge," and he was a prominent figure in North Carolina waters before his death in 1718.

Privateer/ Pirate

A Privateer was a private person or ship authorized by a government through a letter of marque to attack foreign shipping during wartime. Essentially, they were legal pirates operating on behalf of a state. A Pirate, on the other hand, was an outlaw who attacked and robbed ships at sea without any government authorization, acting purely for personal gain.

Proprietary Colony

A Proprietary Colony was a type of colony in British North America where the overall administrative authority was granted by the English Crown to individuals or a small group of proprietors. These proprietors, often wealthy aristocrats, had extensive control over the colony's governance, including appointing governors, collecting taxes, and distributing land, essentially ruling it as a private estate. Examples include Pennsylvania, Maryland, and at certain times, Carolina.

New Bern

New Bern is a city in North Carolina, historically significant as it was the second permanent European settlement in the colony and later served as the colonial capital. Founded in 1710 by Swiss and German immigrants led by Christoph von Graffenried, its strategic location at the confluence of the Trent and Neuse rivers made it an important port and governmental center. New Bern was also a key site during the Tuscarora War, being heavily attacked by the Tuscarora tribe.

John Lawson

an English explorer, naturalist, and writer who journeyed through the Carolina colony in the early 18th century. He is best known for his 1709 book, "A New Voyage to Carolina," which provides a detailed account of the region's geography, flora, fauna, and the customs of its Native American inhabitants. Lawson was instrumental in the founding of Bath, North Carolina's first town, and later New Bern. He played a significant role in early colonial development before being killed by Tuscarora Indians in 1711, an event that contributed to the outbreak of the Tuscarora War.

Culpeper Rebellion

Albemarle region of the Carolina proprietary colony. It was sparked by increasing dissatisfaction among colonists over proprietary rule, particularly regarding enforcement of the Navigation Acts which restricted trade, unfair taxation, and attempts to control local governance. Led by John Culpeper and George Durant, the rebels overthrew the proprietary government, imprisoned the acting governor, and established their own administration for a period. The rebellion highlighted early colonial resistance to external authority and economic policies, demonstrating a desire for greater self-governance among frontier settlers.

Wilmington

Wilmington is a significant port city in North Carolina, notable historically for being the only place with deep water ports open to the Atlantic Ocean. This made it a crucial hub for trade, navigation, and military operations throughout colonial times and beyond, facilitating access to global shipping routes for the interior regions of the colony.

Tom Blunt

a prominent leader of the northern faction of the Tuscarora Native Americans during the early 18th century in North Carolina. During the Tuscarora War (1711-1715), Blunt allied with the English colonists against Chief Hancock's southern Tuscarora faction, which was actively fighting the settlers. His cooperation with colonial forces was instrumental in the eventual defeat of Chief Hancock and the subsequent peace treaty that effectively ended the war by 1715, though it led to significant territorial and political decline for the Tuscarora.
