Kavon Bastian HIS 112-02: Term Paper Connections: Piracy, Slavery, and The Bahamas Piracy, the swashbuckling shipmates of old. There are many accounts of piracy; some from merchant sources, others from the nations themselves. But one thing stands tall: Piracy had an effect on The Bahamas (and the wider Caribbean as well).

have been on the wrong end of success this season. A team that was once labeled the dark horse of the NFC, Quickly became the laughing stock of the NFL. At least the browns are expected to be losers. The 49ers were expected to have setbacks. The buccaneers had expectations as well, they were expected to turn heads, not have them turn away. At a dismal record of 2-6, our starting Quarterback is injured and giving questionable Pre-game speeches. (The famous who wants to eat a W speech at New…

As soon as we were in the middle of the ocean, we attacked.…

“I thought he had a typical first day,” said Lovie Smith on 1st overall pick Jameis Winston’s first day with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. “We saw a lot of good things today.” Sure, Winston is a very talented player, a BCS National Champion, and the 2013 Heisman Trophy winner; but unfortunately the name ‘Jameis Winston’ draws to mind a lot more than his accomplishments on the field. His career has been shrouded in scandal and misbehavior since he arrived at Florida State, with the rape allegation…
