Question

6. John Smith was a "great man" who treated Native Americans well and never encouraged hostilities with them.

True
False

Answer 1

Answer: False.

“Unfortunately for the Native Americans, Smith believed that the English should treat them as the Spanish had: to compel them to "drudgery, work, and slavery," so English colonists could live "like Soldiers upon the fruit of their labor." Thus, when his negotiations for food occasionally failed, Smith took what he wanted by force.” -Library Of Congress
