Blackbeard, also known as Edward Teach, and Ben Hornigold parted ways primarily due to differing views on piracy and its practices. Hornigold, who had initially been a mentor to Blackbeard, eventually sought to retire from piracy and opted for a more cautious approach, focusing on privateering. In contrast, Blackbeard embraced a more violent and flamboyant style of piracy, leading to their eventual split as their goals and methods diverged significantly. This divergence marked a shift in Blackbeard's career towards becoming one of the most notorious pirates of his time.
