Who Was Powhatan As A Leader

The European nation that came to the Powhatan territory were the Spanish people. A lot of things brought them to the American territory, the Queen of England specifically was interested in the possibility of the colonies providing gold, a passage to Asia and challenging Spain in a world totally different from what they were used to ( the new world) (Source 1). The Spanish wanted to trade, establish new townships and plantations (source 2). They basically wanted to take over the Powhatan land and own it even if it was to be done by force. The Spanish invaded the Powhatan territory because they believed that it would make them richer then what they already were, the routes, the trade, the goods that the Native Americans had and the land of course. All of those things would help boost the Europeans economy bringing not only money but even more development to the countries there. They also wanted to settle and develop the place as their own homes.

A leader has many responsibilities as a role model and caretaker for their people. Facing hard challenges and knowing how to deal with them is a part of being a great leader all of which are Chief Powhatan showed. Chief Powhatan whose proper name was Wahunsenacawh, was the superior chief of Tsenacommacah, an alliance of Algonquian-speaking Virginia Indians in the Tidewater region of Virginia at the time English settlers landed at Jamestown in 1607. In his address to Captain John Smith Chief Powhatan expresses how he desires peace between the settlers and the Tsenacommacah. He utilizes distinct rhetorical elements such as rhetorical questions, diction and argumentation to further support his view on what he desired to occur between his people and the English settlers.

The atrocities the English committed against the Powhatans were comparable of those of the Spanish. One instance in 1610, a Powhatan chief was convicted for being rude. An English officer and his men invaded the Native American town, “seized some of the natives, ‘putt some fiftene or sixtene to the Sworde’ and cut off their heads. Then he ordered his men to burn homes and crops. When the expedition returned to its boats, his men complained that Percy had spared an Indian ‘quene and her Children.’ Percy relented, and threw the children overboard ‘shoteinge owtt their Braynes in the water.’ His men insisted that he burn the queen alive, but Percy less cruel, stabbed her to death.” The English saw themselves superior and considered the Native Americans as savages.

Native Americans were somehow powerful and had everything that English colonists wanted. They were seeking wealth and they had the answers in Jamestown. When tobacco start growing, the English colony became powerful and expanded their colony over Jamestown peninsula. Powhatan Indians were disappointed when English did not maintain a trading way with them. In 1622 Native Americans took a step forward by attacking the colony. They killed 347 colonists. As it is stated on the second chapter of the book, The American Yawp, “The colonist retaliated and revisited the massacres upon Indian settlements many times over. The Massacre freed the colonist to drive the Indians off their land.” Once the English colony gained power, they forgot about the people who kept them alive, they forgot about Native Americans. English colonists were so ungrateful and blind because they had one goal in mind, and that was to be wealthy. They didn't care how they would gain wealth. The only thing that mattered to them was gaining

After Florida became a U.S. territory in 1822, both St. Augustine and Pensacola competed to become the state capital. Unable to come to an agreement, it was decided to locate the Capital at a point between the two cities, Tallahassee. In 1824, a log cabin in Tallahassee served as the first Capitol

I feel that we should communicate in person. You can get more detail in person or notice how that person is feeling which you don’t get so much detail over the phone. Plus the internet has had a lot of bad things happen on it over the past few years on email or just social media. Then there is also lots of arguments that start over the internet.

These Algonquian Indians attacked the colonists on the first night so then the colonists now knew that they needed to protect themselves from these monsters who were the Indians and the Spanish. Diseases and starvation spread and about 50 colonists died in September. Powhatan was the chief of the Algonquian Indians helped the people

One thing about the news today that my Mawmaw has noticed is how it has changed so much since she was young. If there was a shooting or a tragedy, it was a rare occasion. Today, a major crime happens weekly. From the church shooting in Georgia, to the explosion in France, and, just recently, the shooting in Colorado at the abortion clinic all happened within months of each other. She especially recognizes how the devil is attacking young people of today.

Paraskeva Clark was a Canadian painter born in Russia, and she is an important painter in the history of Canadian art, especially in the context of immigrants who came to Canada and brought with them their own culture. “Considered one of the most accomplished Canadian painters of the 1930s and 1940s, she was one of few Canadian artists of the time who used her art to convey her passionate political convictions” (Library and Archives Canada, 2000), something that was incredibly controversial – especially for women – and yet hallmarked her as one of the most incisive and critical painters of the 20th century. This had a lot to do with the life she had led and the struggled that had helped to define her not only as an artist, but as a woman and

Omar Alamri Dr. Fuller HIST 217 Feb 7, 2017 Love and Hate in Jamestown: John Smith, Pocahontas, and the Heart of a New Nation In Love and Hate in Jamestown: John Smith, Pocahontas, and the Heart of a New Nation, David A. Price presented a more complicated and complex version of the legendary story of the founding of Virginia. His narrative focused on class and the development of capitalism and brought together several important characters, most notably Chief Powhatan, Pocahontas, and John Smith. In doing so, he challenged the traditional view of the events in the early Jamestown colony. It is evident that the three characters Chief Powhatan, Pocahontas, and John Smith played a significant role in the development of America because their association

Once there was a great and mighty Indian Chief named Sosqatucha that ruled all of the land from the east to the west. One day there was a tribe member that lived in the same ancient city as the Indian Chief, that was walking around the city saying words that rhymed and would write the words that he said on a piece of paper. One of the Chief’s men told him about the man and he had the man brought to his Temple with his hands bound with rope.

Conversely, the story coming from Powhatan turns Smiths tale around. Powhatan explains that he would prefer peace with the English. Powhatan is confused by the English jealously. He doesn’t understand why the English attack and raid the natives when the natives would willing trade for food. Powhatan don’t want a war. He sees war as misery for both sides, the colonist will starve without help and the

Ledan (currently going by the alias of Ledan “Leda" Hale) is an archangel/human hybrid, sometimes known as an "Archnephilim" (a phrase coined by Dean) and a witch, known or at least believed to be one of the only ones of his kind, maybe even the olnly one. He uses his witchcraft to perform spells on demand, occasionally for money but usually he’ll do it for an nondescript favour (which you’ll be bound to) that can be called in at any time.
