Q3 #ParkChat Much of the piracy of our Colonial Period was “State Sponsored” with the main target being slaves, not treasure chests and pieces of eight. Which current state do you think was the most active for such piracy? Why?

replying to @59NationalParks @59NationalParks A3 With no research in front of me, but I'd guess Louisiana and, possibly, South Carolina. New Orleans was huge slave trade area. As was Charleston (I think). #parkchat

replying to @59NationalParks @59NationalParks A3. Maybe VA? It was a major port for importing slaves #ParkChat

replying to @59NationalParks @59NationalParks A3: I’d Guess Georgia as a landing spot from the Caribbean with maybe the Mississippi Delta a close second. #ParkChat

replying to @59NationalParks @59NationalParks A3) I'm going with South Carolina only because I think that I saw something about it during my visit to Charles Pinckney National Historic Site in Mount Pleasant. #ParkChat

replying to @59NationalParks @59NationalParks #parkchat A3 I'll say NY. Just because it would be under the radar.
