Question

Which person below is responsible for keeping the early settlement of Jamestown afloat because of his leadership and treaty with the Powhatan Confederacy

Answer 1

John Smith

Step-by-step explanation:

John Smith was widely known for his leadership role at Jamestown during the period of settlement of English colonist settlers in 1608.

Due to differences in motives and perception, there were constant struggles between the English settlers and the Powhatan natives, and as well among the English settlers themselves.

However, John Smith through his leadership abilities and treaty with the Powhatan Confederacy, specifically the Powhatan chief and her daughter Pocahontas was able to keep the early settlement of Jamestown afloat.
