He did, and he was.
He suffered not one, but two mutinies in his career; While he was governor of New South
Wales, Bligh's soldiers were called the Rum Corps, because they used rum as payment
when buying goods and labor. Bligh banned the use of rum as legal tender, and the Rum
Rebellion ensued, during which Bligh was arrested and spent more than a year in jail.
