For every man in your camp, there are thousands somewhere in the West Indies living under the same yoke, chained in fields, pressed on ships, sold into indenture. When they see a sitting governor protected by His Majesty's Navy deposed by an alliance of pirates and slaves, how many consider joining that fight? How many thousands of men will flock to Nassau, join your ranks, and help you defend it?

Black Sails Week day 7 - free choice "The men in that cage are deceitful men. They will say things that will sound appealing to you, especially to you. But you must not let them sway you. Your father and I built this place to separate ourselves from their world." "But we rely on the things that father sends back from their world. We're not that separate from them." "We are separate enough that we have no need to see them. To steal from them. To fight with them. To know their chains again. I have worked so hard to ensure that you've never had to see those things. But I have seen those things. And I will hold them at bay for as long as I'm able to. For every day that we avoid colliding into their world is a day children are born here, is a day families exist here. I'm in no hurry to see that end."

what does a colonial power do when the men whose toil powers it lay down their shovels, pick up swords and say no more?

I am once again wishing that the Maroons' and Vane's stories could have interacted significantly

+ Bonus:

[Image ID: The main post shows 6 photos from Black Sails overlain with text. The 3 images on the left show Vane and Eleanor arguing in his room in the fort. Text reads, "Side with me and we will show England that this place has never been stronger, and we'll keep our freedom for another day, another month, another year, a lifetime. Do you believe me?" The 3 images on the right show the Maroon Queen talking to Madi at night in the Maroon camp. Text reads, "But I have seen those things. And I will hold them at bay for as long as I'm able to. For every day that we avoid colliding into their world is a day children are born here, is a day families exist here. I'm in no hurry to see that end. Nor should you be." The bonus part shows 4 photos from Black Sails overlain with text. The 2 images on the left show Vane saying "Show it to me. Hand me my future here in this room. What? It isn't just your words, is it? The promise of a thing hard to define and impossible to deliver." The 2 on the right show the Maroon Queen saying, "I'm not going out there with 'I don't know yet.' These people know their lives are about to change. They know they'll need to fight to survive, but I will not go before them and argue to have that fight all at once and risk losing everything all at once unless I am certain that fight can be won." end ID]

the moment when the maroon queen asks silver how they found the island and complete panic washes across the face of a lying liar who lies and whose fate now depends upon how well he tells the truth
