I suspect not one American in 500 knows about the Massacre of 1622.

My post was deleted yesterday as off topic.

In July 1610, West sent Gates against the Kecoughtan. "Gates lured the Indians into the open by the means of music-and-dance by his drummer, and then slaughtered them. "

If that is true then you are subjected to an injustice in my opinion. Assuming what you say is the whole truth.

Perhaps not as big an injustice as the settlers or the native tribal people who were slaughtered.

But an injustice none the less.

As close as I recall my entire post was.....

"don't we need to mention the slaughter of native Americans before this"?
 
  • Territorial Encroachment: As the English tobacco economy grew, settlers increasingly seized prime agricultural lands, displacing the Powhatan people.
I don't find that claim very credible at all.

Why would white settlers want to take farmland that had been farmed already by the native tribal people? There was more available free land then anything else? Except perhaps oxygen and water.

Why would they risk land that might be farmed out when they could have fresh brand new land?
 
Interesting.

How did that work out for him?
Gave the Colonists something to think about, (around 900 of them got killed) and provided his tribe 4 more years of survival.

At the time they used to call it: better to die in honor and up-keeping tradition - then becoming enslaved and robbed of their lands, culture and traditions.
