Explanation:

"Pirate" and "Pirate ship" redirect here. For the unauthorized use, copying, modification or distribution of published media, see Copyright infringement. For the amusement ride, see Pirate ship (ride). For other uses, see Pirate (disambiguation).

The traditional "Jolly Roger" of piracy

Piracy is an act of robbery or criminal violence by ship or boat-borne attackers upon another ship or a coastal area, typically with the goal of stealing cargo and other valuable items or properties. Those who conduct acts of piracy are called pirates, while the dedicated ships that pirates use are called pirate ships. The earliest documented instances of piracy were in the 14th century BC, when the Sea Peoples, a group of ocean raiders, attacked the ships of the Aegean and Mediterranean civilizations. Narrow channels which funnel shipping into predictable routes have long created opportunities for piracy,[1] as well as for privateering and commerce raiding. Historic examples include the waters of Gibraltar, the Strait of Malacca, Madagascar, the Gulf of Aden, and the English Channel, whose geographic structures facilitated pirate attacks.[2] A land-based parallel is the ambushing of travelers by bandits and brigands in highways and mountain passes.[3] Privateering uses similar methods to piracy, but the captain acts under orders of the state authorizing the capture of merchant ships belonging to an enemy nation, making it a legitimate form of war-like activity by non-state actors.[4]

While the term can include acts committed in the air, on land (especially across national borders or in connection with taking over and robbing a car or train), or in other major bodies of water or on a shore, in cyberspace, as well as the fictional possibility of space piracy, it generally refers to maritime piracy. It does not normally include crimes committed against people traveling on the same vessel as the perpetrator (e.g. one passenger stealing from others on the same vessel). Piracy or pirating is the name of a specific crime under customary international law and also the name of a number of crimes under the municipal law of a number of states. In the early 21st century, seaborne piracy against transport vessels remains a significant issue (with estimated worldwide losses of US$16 billion per year in 2004),[5] particularly in the waters between the Red Sea and Indian Ocean, off the Somali coast, and also in the Strait of Malacca and Singapore.

Today, pirates armed with automatic weapons, such as assault rifles, and machine guns, grenades and rocket propelled grenades use small motorboats to attack and board ships, a tactic that takes advantage of the small number of crew members on modern cargo vessels and transport ships. They also use larger vessels, known as "mother ships", to supply the smaller motorboats. The international community is facing many challenges in bringing modern pirates to justice, as these attacks often occur in international waters.[6] Some nations have used their naval forces to protect private ships from pirate attacks and to pursue pirates, and some private vessels use armed security guards, high-pressure water cannons, or sound cannons to repel boarders, and use radar to avoid potential threats

Discuss the different working conditions of slaves in the antebellum south
Rom4ik [11]
One of the different working conditions of slaves in the antebellum south was that these quarters consisted of a large grouping of rudely made cabins. Within these slave barracks, black families began to seize, hold, and extended families slowly gained approval for living together within the same homestead. This provided for the cultivation and flourishment of the black community. Southern slaves also tasted a small dose of freedom when allowed to plant and manage their own, small cash crops. This added to the home realm in which black life and expression overrode white intervention. The home began to represent more than just a form of shelter... it became the haven for the development of the African-American experience

Another one of the different working conditions of slaves in the Antebellum south was that many owners had experienced such runaway rates and unsettled behavior from their male slaves that they were forced to begin to buy more females, even though they were not considered as a valuable commodity. The main reason for the purchasing of slave woman had definitely been for reasons that involved the slaveholder's sexual desires rather than the female's economic potential. But slave masters soon began to buy an equal amount of black women and men for their plantations in order to ensure families and hence stable slave behavior. A married male slave had more responsibility to his mate and children and therefore would be more deterred from trying to escape.
