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.
