Ch. 2 Learning Objective: Describe the cultural and social changes that Indian communities underwent in response to English colonization
In the beginning, the Indians considered the colonists to be allies and they tried to be friendly with them. The colonists began to raid Indian food supplies and the relations dissappeared so war broke out. The Indians tried to be friendly but the way they were treated by the colonists angered the Indian. The First Anglo-Powhattann war ended in 1614 because of the marriage between Pocahontas and John Rolfe. The Second Anglo-Powhattan war started in 1644 only to end in 1646 and the Chesapeke Indians being banished from their ancestral lands. The colonization destroyed the lives of Indians as they were stolen of their food, banished from their homes, and were killed.
