In this episode of Texas History for Kids, we explore the mystery of Jean Lafitte, a pirate who ran smuggling and privateering operations across the Gulf of Mexico, negotiated with powerful governments, and even helped the United States win the Battle of New Orleans during the War of 1812.
But Lafitte insisted he wasn’t a pirate. He claimed to be a privateer, someone who believed he had permission to control trade and attack enemy ships. Was he telling the truth, or just bending the rules when money was involved?
