You are saying the pirates lost their advantage to steam ships and that is what stopped them? I thought most of them went into legitimate business instead of pirating.
On Tortuga (Haiti), the pirates became know as buccaneers. This is because they went into the barbecue business. They raised and smoked meat for the ships that called to port. Buccaneer is a mispronouncing of the French word for barbeque. They found selling food to be more stable and more profitable than attacking ships.
I did some research on pirates after becoming a Dead Pirate last year at their convention. While they don't raid, they do party quite well.
And as already mentioned, what does any of this have to do with the American Civil War?

Does anyone know the minimum safe distance of ignorance?
