Woodes Rogers, as the governor of the Bahamas in the early 18th century, justified hanging men accused of piracy as a necessary measure to restore order and deter rampant criminal activity in the region. The Caribbean was plagued by piracy, which undermined trade and threatened colonial stability. By executing pirates, Rogers aimed to demonstrate a firm stance against lawlessness, thereby reinforcing the authority of colonial governance and encouraging legitimate commerce. His actions were seen as a means to reclaim the Bahamas from a lawless state and protect the interests of the British Empire.
