The Indians attacked Jamestown in 1622 primarily due to escalating tensions and encroachments on their lands by English settlers. The Powhatan Confederacy, led by Chief Opechancanough, sought to reclaim their territory and resist the settlers' expansion, which threatened their resources and way of life. The attack, which resulted in the deaths of a significant number of colonists, was a strategic attempt to assert their dominance and push back against the growing colonial presence.
