Did Pocahontas save john smith

Answer 1

No. She did not.He did NOT save Jamestown. He was only there a very few months and he lied about his contribution to the settlement in a book he wrote several years later. He also made up the story about Pocahontas and she died young so couldn't refute his story. The man who did save Jamestown was the husband of Pocahontas and gave tobacco seeds to the colony. That was John Rolfe.

Answer 2

The story we know is not true. Actually the colonist landed in an area of 14,000 Native Americans and in the worse land in the area. Powhatan pretty much left them alone. I think he figured that they would die from the bad water and disease . He was fairly right. Within 6 months there were only 34 men left alive of the 104 who came. It wasn't until after his death that the brother of Powhatan attacked the colony. The story about Smith is also not true. He did NOT save Jamestown. He was only there a very few months and he lied about his contribution to the settlement in a book he wrote several years later. He also made up the story about Pocahontas and she died young so couldn't refute his story. The man who did save Jamestown was the husband of Pocahontas and gave tobacco seeds to the colony. That was John Rolfe.

Answer 5

The answer below is WRONG. She DID NOT save Smith. In fact Smith wrote the story in a book after her death in England. Smith was an adventurer, lied about his time in Jamestown, and was a self serving person who only wanted to make as much money or get fame . She married Rolf after meeting him when she was held hostage for 4 years. She had changed her name to Rebecca, become a Christian and left for England with him. In England she had a baby boy, and died there. Her grave can still be seen in England. The boy stayed with his aunt and as a young adult went to Jamestown where he married, had 6 children, and died at the age of 90.

Answer 6

Yes

There is actually a debate about this as there are many arguments. See, Smith changes his mind in his second document and it's confusing.

Answer 7

no
