Jamestown entered a period called the Starving time. Without Captain John Smith and Pocahontas to act as go-betweens the Indians refused to trade with the settlers.
John Smith became leader of the colonists and did his best to fight off the Indians.
John Smith and the Jamestown colonists were instructed to discover a route to the Pacific, map the area, and claim the land for the Crown. They were also instructed by England to find gold, silver, and other minerals, and to trade with the Indians.

John Smith refused to trade weapons and gunpowder with the local Indians during his encounters with them. He recognized the potential dangers of arming the Indigenous people, as it could lead to violence and conflict. Instead, he focused on exchanging goods that fostered cooperation, such as food and supplies, to ensure mutual benefit and peace between the settlers and the Native Americans.
