DNF. This book was so disappointing. I went in thinking I'd read about the adventures of pirates operating democratic organizations and enjoying freedom from imperialism. I got a whole lot of Columbus hero-worship, casual slave trade apologism, and severe glossing over of the colonialist violence and genocide against peoples indigenous to the Americas.
