Write an analytical essay utilizing the assigned primary and secondary source accounts on Francis Drake and John (“Jack”) Ward. In addition to the assigned readings provided above (and in Brightspace), you should locate and review at least one additional primary source account each for Drake and Ward in the Early English Books Online (EEBO) database and in New Light on Drake (via Hannon Library).
Your essay should critically compare and contrast Drake and Ward. Some analytical elements to consider: the sources themselves (biases/perspective/intended audience), alleged motivations of the pirates, objectives and goals of the pirates, relative and specific successes and failures, organization of the ship/crew, areas of operation, intended targets, the legacy/historical reputation and significance of each. In your conclusion, you should indicate whether you would rather have served under Drake or Ward and your reasoning. Be sure to properly cite all of your sources, both in footnotes and a Bibliography/Works Cited section.
