Blood Gold: Caribbean! [2021]
And this makes sense, at first sight. Every man in the crew had to pay his blood (despite none of them bleeding...) and Turner was the only one missing. However, how did Bill die in the first place? If he was already cursed, he couldn't have died to join Davy Jones' crew.
Blood Gold: Caribbean!
In order for Bootstrap Bill to die, he would've had to get killed before the gold was found. But then why would his blood be needed to lift the curse? He had no association with it whatsoever.
The answer is in the first movie. It's revealed in a conversation between Will, Ragetti and Pintel. In this conversation, they say Bill intentionally sent the coin away, knowing that they were cursed. They also mention that he tells them what he has done. Barbossa furious over what he did, sends him to the bottom of the ocean. He is fully aware that Bill will not die, that is part of the beauty of the punishment. It's also revealed in the conversation that at this time, they didn't know all the requirements to remove the curse. Will Turner is an acceptable replacement, because he has Turner blood.
The initial shipment to Lisbon organized by the first European company for the exploitation of western Africa consisted of 200 black slaves ; if they could work in Portugal, they could also work in Brazil. Seen as simple minded and childlike creatures, hot-blooded but docile under the lash, adapted to the tropical heat, strong and coarse, the African slaves seemed created especially to meet the needs of the colonial planters, and it was neither difficult nor dangerous to obtain them. In fact, a slave could be more easily acquired and with greater profit than gold or ivory.
Thus, the dilemma was rapidly solved, as men, women and children of western Africa were transported across the ocean by the thousands and hundreds of thousands. It may well be said that the life of America was saved by virtue of a blood transfusion from Africa. The employment of slaves was certainly no novelty to the conquerors who, in order to supply labor to landowners of Andalucia and the southern part of the peninsula, had been importing black slaves from Africa since the middle of the 16th century. Soon afterwards they were taken to the Canaries, and in 1603 black slavery was introduced in Santo Domingo. No sooner had the colonization enterprise begun in Puerto Rico than it, too, became a destination for slave labor. 041b061a72
