George Fitzhugh It is one thing to manage a company of slaves on a Virginia plantation and quite another to quell an insurrection on the lonely billows of the Atlantic, where every breeze speaks of courage and liberty. Frederick Douglass This paper explores the voyage of the slave ship Creole, which left Virginia in 1841 with a cargo of 135 persons bound for New Orleans. Although the importation of slaves from Africa into the United States was banned from 1808, the expansion of slavery into the American Southwest took the form of forced migration within the United States, or at least beneath the United States’s flag.

Mutiny on the Bounty: a Piece of Colonial Historical Fiction Sylvie Largeaud-Ortega University of French Polynesia
4 Nordhoff and Hall’s Mutiny on the Bounty: A Piece of Colonial Historical Fiction Sylvie Largeaud-Ortega University of French Polynesia Introduction Various Bounty narratives emerged as early as 1790. Today, prominent among them are one 20th-century novel and three Hollywood movies. The novel,Mutiny on the Bounty (1932), was written by Charles Nordhoff and James Norman Hall, two American writers who had ‘crossed the beach’1 and settled in Tahiti. Mutiny on the Bounty2 is the first volume of their Bounty Trilogy (1936) – which also includes Men against the Sea (1934), the narrative of Bligh’s open-boat voyage, and Pitcairn’s Island (1934), the tale of the mutineers’ final Pacific settlement. The novel was first serialised in the Saturday Evening Post before going on to sell 25 million copies3 and being translated into 35 languages. It was so successful that it inspired the scripts of three Hollywood hits; Nordhoff and Hall’s Mutiny strongly contributed to substantiating the enduring 1 Greg Dening, ‘Writing, Rewriting the Beach: An Essay’, in Alun Munslow & Robert A Rosenstone (eds), Experiments in Rethinking History, New York & London, Routledge, 2004, p 54. 2 Henceforth referred to in this chapter as Mutiny. 3 The number of copies sold during the Depression suggests something about the appeal of the story.

Background Information Sheet the JOLLY ROGER
ACTIVITY 1D: JOLLY ROGER — Background Information Sheet THE JOLLY ROGER The “Jolly Roger,” also known as “Black Jack” or “The Banner of Death,” was invented by Caribbean pirates around 1700. Its intended purpose was to frighten their intended victim into surrendering. Until then, pirates flew whatever country’s flag would get them the closest to their prey. By the 1720s, the black flag with its white symbols was common with the pirates of the Atlantic and Indian Oceans. Every pirate crew had a unique flag. The human skull, or “death’s head,” was a common theme, but others symbols on the “Jolly Roger” meant death, violence, and limited time. When a pirate ship spotted its intended victim, a typical scenario went like this. First, the pirate ship would fly the flag of a non-threatening country until they were close enough to bombard their prey; this was known as flying “false colors.” Next, they would raise the Jolly Roger. This flag was intended to frighten the victim and also give them a chance to surrender. If this offer was refused, the pirates would raise a red flag, symbolizing blood, which meant “no quarter” — death to all. The skull and crossbones was a common European symbol of death. It was carved into gravestones of the 17th century. Pirates capitalized on this symbol, but other symbols were used. For example, Edward (Blackbeard) Teach had a white skeleton holding a spear pointed to a red heart. Bartholomew (Black Bart) Roberts’ flag por- trayed a human body with a cutlass standing on two skulls.

The Spanish riposte: Sarmiento1 Francisco de Toledo lamented briefly that ‘the sea is so wide, and [Drake] made off with such speed, that we could not catch him’; but he was ‘not a man to dally in contemplations’,2 and within ten days of the hang-dog return of the futile pursuers of the corsair he was planning to lock the door by which that low fellow had entered. Those whom he had sent off on that fiasco seem to have been equally, and reasonably, terrified of catching Drake and of returning to report failure; and we can be sure that the always vehement Pedro Sarmiento de Gamboa let his views on their conduct be known. He already had the Viceroy’s ear, having done him signal if not too scrupulous service in the taking of the unfortunate Tupac Amaru (above, Ch.

BLACKBEARD& the Queen Anne’s Revenge EDWARD TEACH, also known as BLACKBEARD, was one of the most feared pirates to sail the seven seas. He even looked scary! Teach was tall, with a bushy, black beard. People say he placed burning ropes under his hat and let the wisps of smoke curl around his face to terrify his ene- mies. From 1716 to 1718 Blackbeard attacked ships along the Atlantic coast. He often hid out among North Carolina’s barrier islands, where his ships could easily outrun the heavier vessels that pursued them. In 1718 Blackbeard’s lagship, QUEEN ANNE’S RE- VENGE, ran aground at Beaufort Inlet. His sloop, ADVEN- your ow te flag!

Mutiny in the Royal Navy, 1740 to 1820
ASRXXX10.1177/0003122415618991American Sociological ReviewHechter et al. 6189912015 American Sociological Review 1 –25 Grievances and the Genesis © American Sociological Association 2015 DOI: 10.1177/0003122415618991 of Rebellion: Mutiny in the http://asr.sagepub.com Royal Navy, 1740 to 1820 Michael Hechter,a Steven Pfaff,b and Patrick Underwoodb Abstract Rebellious collective action is rare, but it can occur when subordinates are severely discontented and other circumstances are favorable. The possibility of rebellion is a check—sometimes the only check—on authoritarian rule. Although mutinies in which crews seized control of their vessels were rare events, they occurred throughout the Age of Sail. To explain the occurrence of this form of high-risk collective action, this article holds that shipboard grievances were the principal cause of mutiny. However, not all grievances are equal in this respect. We distinguish between structural grievances that flow from incumbency in a subordinate social position and incidental grievances that incumbents have no expectation of suffering. Based on a case- control analysis of incidents of mutiny compared with controls drawn from a unique database of Royal Navy voyages from 1740 to 1820, in addition to a wealth of qualitative evidence, we find that mutiny was most likely to occur when structural grievances were combined with incidental ones. This finding has implications for understanding the causes of rebellion and the attainment of legitimate social order more generally. Keywords social movements, collective action, insurgency, conflict, military authority Since the 1970s, grievances have had a roller grievances that are situational and unlikely to coaster career in studies of insurgency and appear in standard datasets, together with the collective action.
