Chief Powhatan decided to spare Smith's life after Smith's own account of the events earned him respect and admiration in Powhatan's eyes. Smith's stories of the powerful English king and threats of retaliation if he were harmed likely played a role in Powhatan's decision to let him live. Additionally, Powhatan may have seen potential benefits in maintaining a positive relationship with the English for trade and mutual protection.
