History[edit | edit source]
In 1670, Charles-Towne was founded and would grow to become Charleston, one of colonial America's busiest ports.[1]
On 22 May 1718, the pirate Edward Thatch and his fleet entered the Charleston harbor bay in South Carolina.[2] For several days, he laid siege to the city, holding several Royal Navy sailors hostage in exchange for medicines needed to save the people of Nassau. With a lack of response from the authorities, Thatch's fellow pirate Edward Kenway infiltrated Charles-Towne and stole the medical supplies, as well as the recipes for making additional doses. He also killed the British captain Wyatt.[3]
The taverns in Charles-Towne were famous among the merchants who operated in the American colonies in the early 18th century, and would host numerous social gatherings where business was discussed. Edward Kenway, by way of his fleet, kept the meetings stocked with food, drinks and tobacco.[4] Around the same time, the fleet also arranged a meeting with a black-market fence that had been staying at a local hotel.[5]
In 1776, during the American Revolutionary War, the Colonial Assassins helped the Continental Army prevent the Royal Navy from capturing the city.[6] Three years later, they returned to eliminate the Templar associate Hugh Jackson at the Battle of Stono Ferry.[7]
