Bedtime History: Inspirational Stories for Kids and Families

Pirates of the Caribbean: Fact vs. Fiction

04 Nov 2025

Description

The real Pirates of the Caribbean were far more complex—and sometimes more brutal—than the swashbuckling legends in movies. From the late 1600s to the early 1700s, this region was a hotspot for piracy, where sailors turned outlaw raided ships for gold, goods, and freedom. Figures like Blackbeard, Anne Bonny, and Calico Jack were real people who navigated a dangerous world shaped by colonial powers, naval warfare, and trade routes. This episode separates fact from fiction, exploring the economic, political, and social realities of piracy in the Caribbean. 💵 Get a free month of Acorns Early: ⁠⁠⁠⁠acornsearly.com/bedtimehistory⁠⁠⁠ Try Cocomelon Sing & Play for Free on your smart TV Volley App
