Pirates


I"v been learning about pirates. Pirates are sea robbers meaning they steal other ships or merchant ships carrying lots of diamonds or gold and silver. In pirates times pirates people were very very poor, so people wanted to be pirates or sea robbers because they could earn more gold or silver faster.
The things sea robbers stole were from countries,the countries they stole goods.The most country they stole from was Africa,they would took slaves and then sell them for gold or silver,some diamonds were made in Africa pirates would take lots and lots of those precious diamonds,the smoke that pirates smoke were also from Africa.From India was spices mix with goods .China was a bit different they only stole a fabric of silk. Last but not lease South America, from there they took cocoa beans which make chocolate and more diamonds.
