This video discusses Blackbeard, whose real name was Edward Teach or Thatch, one of the most infamous pirates of the Golden Age of Piracy in the early 18th century. He was known for his fearsome appearance, which included a long black beard that he adorned with lit fuses during battles to intimidate his enemies. Blackbeard operated primarily in the West Indies and along the eastern coast of the American colonies, plundering ships and terrorizing coastal towns.
