If your civilization and everyone you know were under the oppressive reign of a malevolent entity, would you sit idly and watch your traditions be obliterated, or would you take a stand and fight for the moralities of freedom and righteousness? A large misconception among people is whether or not challenging certain rules is justified, or if so when it is appropriate and most likely to occur.

The Englishmen and Irish soldiers call each other by nicknames, the “cranky” old woman reacts to the Englishmen in a nice way, and the Second Battalion treats the Englishmen as friends and invites them to fun events (170). Although all these characters are supposed enemies to the Englishmen due to the war, Belcher and Hawkins find a way to befriend everyone. First, the Irish soldiers and the Englishmen want to begin

The strongly mannered opinions that Englishmen had formed towards the Native Americans during this time of Early Virginia were very incredulous. The English and Native Americans had a complicated partnership. Englishmen actually had their first encounter with the Native Americans in December of 1606, where they were welcomed upon arrival by Native Americans in an attack towards the Englishmen.

The attack on Pequot Fort was a brutal, one-sided battle between the Pequot people, fellow Natives Americans, and the Englishmen. The Pequot fought very hard and stood their ground during the battle. In John Underhill’s account, he mentions that he and Captain Mason set fire to the fort. This led to many deaths of the Pequot people as most of them stayed and fought through the Palisadoes.

He took men off boats and forced them into the army where they were not treated like Englishmen. He also seized supplies for his men from American citizens.
