Hi,

I was in a discussion in another forum on the "1715" Jacobite Rebellion. At the death of Queen Anne, a bunch of Scots got VERY unhappy at the nomination of kingship to George, Elector of Saxony. So, they rose up in rebellion under the cause of the exiled "James the Pretender," son of James II of England and James VII of Scotland.

I KNOW that Queen Anne's War (War of Spanish Succession-> correct?) had a MAJOR impact on piracy.

So, was there any preceivable impact of the Jabobite Rebellion of 1715?

(Remember, I am coming from a background more focused on Scottish events than Carribean, so I am asking those who know more about this area than myself.

THAT means MOST of YOU :) )

Thank you, I have this same curiosity but i do not have the historical knowledge that you do and assumed that I would find it written some day. Again, thank you.

So, anyone have some real input? :lol:
