They were originally hunters who lived on the island but that was until the Spaniards came. In the book Buccaneers and pirates it was said that the Spaniards were trading with certain countries or so.
The buccaneers kept interfering with them and the Spaniards did not like that one bit. So the Spaniards went ahead and wages war on the buccaneers. Sooner or later the Spaniards got the buccaneers off the island of Hispaniola. Which made the Buccaneers furious but the buccaneers ended up getting along together and went ahead to travel on the seas and get their revenge on the Spaniards for making them leave their home land.
The buccaneers adopted a name and it was called “The Brethren of the Coast” or what the Spanish will call them pirates, sea robbers, and buccaneers. The Buccaneers were like brothers when it came to riding the seas and fighting against Spaniards and what is right. Did you know that before they became Buccaneers some of them opened up schools in the Caribbean sea. It was very interesting that some of the Buccaneers actually did that before becoming sea pirates.
A well known Buccaneer that most people have heard of because he is one of the most famous Buccaneer is Sir Henry Morgan. Henry Morgan perfected a type of raid and his attack on Porto Bello in 1668 was a classic example of how the buccaneers accomplished the certain type of attack or raid. Majority of times what buccaneers always do was sail on the seas to the west indies to get golds and hides and to fight Spaniards.
