Its honestly really hard to say as concerns him, or any pirate really. There's a lot of room for interpetation and some facts that are plain missing that leave room for even more interpretation. For instance, his flagship Queen Anne's Revenge was originally a slave ship that he captured. Its unknown if the slaves were freed, sold, or a combination. It seems that all of the above were done by pirates in that era. So generally i hesitate to say "good" despite my love for pirate shit lol.

My personal take is critical support for sea bandits in their fight against the imperial powers
