Blackbeard, born Edward Teach (or Thatch) around 1680, was a privateer in the War of Spanish Succession who turned to piracy and terrorized the Caribbean and American coasts in the early 1700s. After blockading Charleston, South Carolina, in 1718 with a slave ship he had captured, he was killed in a battle with British naval forces.
