A privateer was a private ship (or its captain) authorized by a country's government to attack and seize cargo from another country's ships.\n\nOverview\nPrior to the development of international law among European nations, there was no legal recourse for minor grievances. Privateering was a form of covert operation used to resolve these matters without open warfare. The government of a country provided a letter of marque and reprisal to a shipowner that allowed him to arm his ship and attack other ships sailing under a particular flag. In return he received a share of the seized cargo, while the rest went to the government as payment for the grievance.\n\nTo the target country, a privateer looked very much like a pirate, and indeed this was the intention. The only difference was that pirates were considered outlaws by all nations, while privateers had immunity from the country that commissioned them, and were considered as prisoners of war if caught by other countries. Privateers were sometimes known as "gentleman pirates". Sometimes privateers would even be commissioned to hunt down other pirates, while some of the time, privateers would commit acts of piracy without being commissioned to do so if it fit the privateer's agenda.\n\nEuropean powers renounced privateering in the 1856 Declaration of Paris. Other countries (including the United States) also renounced it under the Hague Conventions (1899/1907).\n\nPrivateers in American history\nThe United States Constitution authorized the U.S. Congress to grant letters of marque and reprisal, as did the Confederate Constitution. The Confederates used privateers during the American Civil War. Britain also used them against the U.S. after the American Revolutionary War.\n\nFamous privateers\nKanhoji Angre \nJean Bart \nWilliam Dampier \nSir Francis Drake \nJames Erisey \nAlexander Godfrey \nJonathan Haraden \nBully Hayes \nPiet Hein \nWilliam Kidd \nGödeke Michels (leader of the Likedeelers) \nSir Henry Morgan \nKlaus Störtebeker (leader of the Likedeelers) \nRobert Surcouf \nVictual Brothers or Vitalians \nEdward Teach, or Blackbeard

Under the Peace of Utrecht, Philip was recognised as King Philip V of Spain, but renounced his place in the French line of succession, thereby precluding the union of the French and Spanish crowns (although there was some sense in France that this renunciation was illegal). He retained the Spanish overseas empire, but ceded the Spanish Netherlands, Naples, Milan, and Sardinia to Austria; Sicily and parts of the Milanese to Savoy; and Gibraltar and Minorca to Great Britain. Moreover, he granted the British the exclusive right to slave trading in Spanish America for thirty years, the so-called asiento.\n\nWith regard to the political organization of their kingdoms, Philip issued the Decretos de Nueva Planta, following the centralizing approach of the Bourbons in France, ending the political autonomy of the kingdoms of the Crown of Aragon; territories in Spain that had supported the Archduke Charles and up to then had kept their institutions in a framework of loose dynastic union. On the other hand, the Kingdom of Navarre and the Basque Provinces, having supported the king against the Habsburg pretender, did not lose their autonomy and retained their traditional differentiated institutions and laws.\n\nNo important changes were made to French territory in Europe. Grandiose imperial desires to turn back the French expansion to the Rhine which had occurred since the middle decades of the seventeenth century were not realized, nor was the French border pushed back in the Low Countries. France agreed to stop supporting the Stuart pretenders to the British throne, instead recognising Anne as the legitimate queen. France gave up various North American colonial possessions, recognising British sovereignty over Rupert's Land and Newfoundland, and ceding Acadia and its half of Saint Kitts. The Dutch were permitted to retain various forts in the Spanish Netherlands, and were permitted to annex a part of Spanish Guelders.\n\nWith the Peace of Utrecht, the wars to prevent French hegemony that had dominated the seventeenth century were over for the time being. France and Spain, both under Bourbon monarchs, remained allies during the following years. Spain, stripped of its territories in Italy and the Low Countries, lost most of its power, and became a second-rate nation in Continental politics.\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/War_of_the_Spanish_Succession

pirates and privateers do the same job, the only diff between them is the fact that a government supports privateers. (look up sir francis drake) it basically means that privateers are government sanctioned pirates... and can always retreat back into the safety of the nation that gave it its license to steal.

If you read history you know Spain had a queen when Columbus sailed the blue in 1492.  They also had Counts but the noacounts went with Columbus.  So, there you have it in a nutty shell.  Social class in Spainland.  For more information ask a Spainperson.  One of my friends is from Spain, taught Spanish in high school until retiring last year and he had lots of class.

I think the answer is yes and they probly will continue to make the Irish made until the English admit that they lost the war that created the Irish Republic and give the Irish back the 6 northern counties (northern Ireland) they refused to give up after they lost the war.

Many things were going on.  The United States was in a war with England in 1815 and that was the year that the U.S. beat England in the Battle of New Orleans helping to bring that war to an end. \n\nThe United States was also in a war with Dey of Algiers. This was known as the The Second Barbary War (1815, also known as the Algerian War) was the second of two wars fought between the United States of America and the semi-autonomous North African city-states of Algiers, Tunis, and Tripoli, known collectively as the Barbary States. It brought to a conclusive end the American practice of paying tribute to the pirate states.  The U.S. Military leaders were Commodores Stephen Decatur, Jr. and William Bainbridge.\n\nEngland was again at war with Napoleon after his escape from Elba.  With the British (and their allies) winning the Battle of Waterloo Napoleon abdicates and is taken to the island of St. Helena.  Ionian Islands come under the Protectorate of Great Britain.  The Corn Law is passed in England to maintain the price of food stuffs.\n\nIn 1832 Andrew Jackson was reelected President of the United States.  The U.S. defeated the Sacs and Foxes in Black Hawk’s War.  The crisis caused by the Nullification Act in South Carolina (with a threat of secession) is averted.  \n\nIn England is the passage of the English reform Bill.  In short this bill readjusted the basis of parliamentary representation and extended suffrage.  \n\nA British fleet operates with Gerard in the reduction of Antwerp.

The European people escaped the old country to the land of the great wilderness to become colonists in order to avoid endentured servitude, oppression, and persecution.  As the hand of mighty England reached across the waters into the new land of the colonies, they forced the same tyranny upon the people of the colonies that they had previously faced in the old country of England.  Then, as taxations and other tariffs were forced upon the colonists, the pressure built until it exploded.  With a militia force that was knowledged of the way of the land, they were able to conquer the mighty and arrogant English into submission.

Wow, something that Rob Roy isn't an expert on.  You are just about as dumb as string.  I guess the schools in Scotland must not cover what we call "The War of 1812,"  I don't know what the English call it.  I assume in Scotland they call it "The war in the place that we were sent to do England's bidding (again) in 1812-1814."  Your English masters did manage to burn our capitol down, but we still b1tch slapped you.  \n\nWhy do you love Belgians so much?  Why did you edit that entry?  I was going to snidely quote your derisive comment about learning history back to you.
