Still image from: Pirates of the Carolinas: Effects on Economy (Episode 6)

For a time, piracy was tolerated. Some would even say encouraged based on the actions of many public officials in Carolina's port cities. Bargain prices were often paid by town merchants for ill-gotten gains. The pirates were also big spenders. This free flow of money, regardless of its origin, delighted local proprietors. Part of the "Pirates of the Carolinas" series. Please note this title contains mature themes.
