The colonists were introduced to tobacco by John Rolfe. The popularity of tobacco grew throughout the colonies. But they needed more land. So the colonists went on Native American territory and tried to take it for themselves to plant more of their cash crop. This then led to hostility between the two and the Natives would invade the colonies.
