Rhode Island permitted only professing Christians. Landholders could vote in New York, but Pennsylvania required voters to believe in Jesus Christ and own property.

Pirate of the Carolinas
Edward Teach, known as “Blackbeard†the pirate, prowled the waters off the southeastern coast of the American colonies in the early 1700s. He was a menacing figure with long, dark hair twisted into pigtails and a beard that covered his face. Teach appeared surrounded in smoke from the slow burning hemp he wore under his hat. Wearing multiple pistols, knives and a cutlass, his frightening image often caused enemies to surrender at the sight of him.
