From the website:

Henry Morgan is often considered the quintessential 'pirate,' although he was actually a privateer with the backing of England until 1670. Operating primarily out of Port Royal, Morgan was an admiral in the Royal Navy and eventually became a lieutenant governor of Jamaica.

In Illinois, the practice is somewhat reversed. Individuals become governors, and then begin their careers of piracy.
