What pirates were popular from 1775 to 1815?

Answer 1

From 1775 to 1815, notable pirates included William Kidd, better known as Captain Kidd, who was active during the late 17th to early 18th centuries and was tried for piracy in 1701. Blackbeard, or Edward Teach, though primarily active earlier, remained a legendary figure during this period. Additionally, the rise of privateers during the Napoleonic Wars, such as Jean Lafitte, blurred the lines between piracy and sanctioned naval warfare. These figures contributed to the romanticized image of piracy in popular culture.
