I suppose there is something interesting to say about nationalism and imperialism here? Like, historically, if you want to break up with an empire, you usually end up relying on some kind of nationalist movement (and the question of whether you could take another path out seems to be at the heart of what Black Sails is working through). But then nationalism is, itself, what provides the ideological fodder (and financial incentive) for empire. So you get this situation where Americans feel like stories of resistance to colonial oppression resonate with our founding national myths - despite our country's own imperialistic actions.
