Since the very beginning of history there have been pirates roaming the earth. Although way before pirates and buccaneers there was an even earlier group. This group would run around and do awful things while the pirates roamed around really having nobody to tell them anything. The men who would do the dirty works were known as privateers. A very well known privateer was Sir Francis Drake. He was an intelligent and sneaky individual he also worked under the Queen of England at the time. He partook in several remember able acts one being when he captured Nombre De Dios.
Privateers such as Sir Francis Drake made it easy for the pirates and the buccaneers in fact privateers paved the way for them. He was very deceiving and in fact took over a ship that was known strictly for its defense which is insane to do. He was considered the greatest British seaman of the Elizabeth age. When people looked at him they viewed him at the "great seaman".
Sir Henry Morgan
Morgan grew up different from the others he didn't have a really rough up bringing. He followed in his families foot steps and became a soldier. When Morgan was alive he accomplished many things such as capturing the island of Jamaica, Portobello, and others. Unlike Drake who was much nicer than Henry Morgan. All Morgan wanted to do was take and destroy from everything that he would come across. Columbus being much different than the both of them only dealing in voyages. His only missions really in life was to discover the new world.
