What made Pocahontas become a peacemaker?

Answer 1

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 2

Pocahontas was a peacemaker because instead of violence she fought in peace. She also saved John Smith from death. She went to England as a representative of the Natives in North America to meet the queen. She also created a link between the Natives and the English by her marriage to John Rolfe, causing a new found peace between the two peoples.even though she was much different i mean because I am a Indian of Belcourt,N.D and i know alot of people judge us even though we are the same ( well pretty much)

Answer 3

She had nothing to do with "bringing peace". The entire story of her life is not true and is a fable. The foundation of it seems to come from Smith in his book, but he made it up . Actually,her true story is much better. She was kidnapped by the colonist and held for 4 years. She converted to Christianity and changed her name to Rebecca. While she was held she met Rolfe when he came to Jamestown and married him. They went to England where she died leaving a baby boy. Rolfe had his sister raise the baby. Their son will eventually return to Jamestown, have a family of his own, and the last known reference to him is at age 90 when he signed over his inheritance of land from his mother/grandfather to the city of Jamestown.

Answer 4

She had courage and bravery and stood up for what she believed in, saved a man's life (John Smith) and she also made peace with the Jamestown settlers.
