The origin of piracy. Caribbean 1630-1641
In the 17 – century Spanish Crown won the entire kingdom of Haiti and drew the inhabitants of the islands as slaves. The Spaniards quickly looted the island and used it as a springboard to explore other areas in the New World. Founded the colony in the eastern part of the island with the capital of the mentioned Santo Domingo (now Dominican Republic). Meanwhile, the conquest of Mexico and Peru conquistador Hernan Cortes in 1521, led to the Spaniards abandoned these lands in favor of more affluent areas. By 1548, the indigenous population – Indians, were almost completely destroyed, while gold reserves are rapidly exhausted. Thus, the prestige and importance of Santo Domingo as a strategic seaport in the eyes of Spain strongly decreased. Hundreds of colonists left the island, heading for Mexico and Peru.
By the end of the first quarter of the seventeenth century, the Spaniards left the northern and western part of the island, although a few thousand settlers still lived in the capital, Santo Domingo and its environs. In the abandoned people of the island in place of abandoned plantation grown tropical jungle and thickets, bringing them in primitive squalor. The only thing less populated areas located on the southeastern plains of the island, behind the city of Santo Domingo. There were several far-flung cattle ranch, stretching to the northern forests, their owners keep in touch with Dutch traders, smugglers, who often visited various harbors on the coast.
Corsairs often visited these ports for intake of fresh water, replenish food and repair their ships. Many sailors behind their teams replenish their ranks, and they were joined by survivors from ships, shipwrecked, escaped black slaves who had escaped from the Spanish settlements and the men who dropped off as punishment, these people landed from ships directly on the deserted beach and thrown to their destiny, allowing them to take care of themselves in a hostile environment among blacks.
In the forests roamed vast herds of cattle and wild pigs, descendants of farm animals, abandoned by Spanish settlers when they leave the island. Left to themselves, they quickly alienated freely pasyas in the meadows. Lacking natural enemies they have bred in quantities not likely than not to have applied to take forced settlers hunting the beasts digging for food. This is a dubious way of life quickly turned into a wild and reckless company forest dwellers. Because of their craft they called “the killers of cows.”Later the British and the Dutch gave them a nickname – the pirates.
