First Anglo-Powhatan War (9 Aug 1610 Jahr – 15 Apr 1614 Jahr)

Beschreibung:

A conflict between the colonists at Jamestown and the Powhatan Confederacy. It started after Governor Lord de la Warr attacked the Paspagegh tribe, who were part of the Confederacy. They killed several dozen, burning houses and cornfields, as well as kidnapping women and children. Colonists were attacked in retaliation near the Appomattox River. In 1611, Governor Sir Thomas Dale led several attacks against the Powhatan, and began to expand English territory to the surroundings of Jamestown. In April 1613, the English captured Chief Powhatan's daughter, Pocahontas, causing the tribe to sue for peace. Pocahontas was then married to colonist John Rolfe, making it the first interracial marriage in Virginia, and led to peace between the two peoples.
