The pirate Jean Lafitte was a Sephardi Jew, whose maternal grandfather was burned at the stake by the Inquisition - which influenced his decision to fight for the Americans as a privateer. He was no Zaddik, interesting all the same. http://jewishmaritime.blogspot.com/2009/09/jewish-pirate-jean-lafitte.html …
