#SamuelBellamy was a #pirate that lived 1689-1717. He left the love of his life to find riches to get permission to marry her, became the richest pirate in #history, and sadly died on his way back home. He hated the corrupt authority of the time and freed slaves regularly. I friggen love #BlackSam.
