Pirate history is usually relegated to the sidelines, seen as something kind of silly and childish, despite how important it is not only to American history, but Western history overall, and understanding societal and economic developments. Pirates were a microcosm of wider society, and even though they were reviled later on, they were an embarrassing reflection of it.
