Best Answer

The Bahamas was in a state of ruins because of the pirates and the ineffective Proprietary Governors. This became a great concern for English merchants who were losing fortunes to pirates. To stop this the Crown had to regain control of The Bahamas. The Crown purchased the islands from the Proprietors and set up their own form of government to try and stop the pirates. The form of government set up by the Crown was called Crown Colony Government. In 1718 the Crown sent their first Royal Governor to The Bahamas Captain Woodes Rogers.
