John Rolfe

The only documentation concerning Rolfe's view of Native American's is that he thought them "heathens."

tobacco

First, John Rolfe married the Christianized Pocahontas, fostering better relations with the Native Americans. This helped increase profits for Jamestown in that the residents didn't have to spend time warring with the indians. More importantly, though, he adapted a strain of tobacco to the warm Virginia climate. This newly developed tobacco was spread throughout the colony and the areas around it, and it grew so well that England was quickly able to exploit the crop and make a large profit. For some time, tobacco was such an important commodity that women would come to the colonies as "tobacco brides," women who came to be wives to tobacco farmers not just as a wife, but as free labor.

They are both Johns!

They also both interacted with Pocahontas, and were Englishmen interested in the settlement of the New World.

It was important for these two to marry because their marragie help restored the peace between the English Settlers and the Indians.

EDIT: by Bobcatrae244,

Actually, they onyl had one of their own, and yes you're right, his name was Thomas,

but they also raised 2 other children from John's first marriage named Barbara, and John.

He experimented with tobacco plants, by crossbreeding tobacco from brazil, with a harsh strain of weeds that Native Americans had grown. Making the plants spread like wildfire. His experiment resulted in high quality tobacco. It was then called brown gold, because of it's popularity. The Virginia colony exported more than 1.5 million lbs of tobacco to England every year.
