[Imalovleytroll]

And then the white man killed off the rest of those damn injuns. Yaaaaay genocide!!!

[veeseee128]

@humanequality8383 ok?

[boomslangchao]

wow those colonists were so stupid and selfish

[veeseee128]

The native americans or indians were civilzed peace loving people. They grew corn, knew how to fish, ate deer, squirrles,opossums, rabbit, all types of animals that lived in the forest. They were skillfull hunters that carried bows and arrows that could kill animal or man. They were curious of the white settlers and wondered if they meant them harm. The white man burned, raped, pillaged and destroyed the native americans. Alot of native americans were pushed out west. Burns me up.

[ProphetEdomiteSlayer]

@veeseee128 get over it.

[veeseee128]

@ProphetEdomiteSlayer NO SIR!! FUCK YOU!!

[ProphetEdomiteSlayer]

@veeseee128 touche sir, an intelligent riposte indeed! Makes one wonder how the whiteman managed to hoodwink your forefathers so easily at every turn...

[Christfollower29]

@ProphetEdomiteSlayer Did you for real just say that?

[ProphetEdomiteSlayer]

@Christfollower29 no, I just for real wrote that about a month ago. For real.

[veeseee128]

Pocohontas might have been raped by them white settlers. Some of them acted like savages. They tooked the Indians land after the indians helped them survive during the cold winter months. Once the white settlers learned how to live off the land they turned on the indians. Killed many indians and even tried to turn them into slaves. When that didnt work they brought black slaves over to work the land. The whiteman was and is a dirty mother fucken savage and he calls the indians savages.

[veeseee128]

remember the victor writes history.

[dzgfdg]

@veeseee128 so everything we know can be lies....

[veeseee128]

@dzgfdg No just what the white man wrote about the jamestown settlement may not be all that happened.

[MrThundermouth]

Holland, Sweden, England, France...all wanted a piece of america. We pushed back the indians rather well. Now the mexicans are pushing back the americans. *lol*

[GeorgeVreelandHill]

i love my selff

[DeductiveReason]

The other thing I wish to point out is that there were two original English colonies. North and South Virginia. These two colonies together represented 1/2 of the area we now call the United States mainland. North Virginia was an area the size of 1/4 of the mainland. None of us can be sure what happened to most of these colonists. Many were killed by natives and many were killed by animal predators. Disease often took them and they were refused entry into other towns because of it.

[DeductiveReason]

wealthy man and as a matter of fact had his land attacked and seized while in the Colonies and returned home. On his way back to the colonies he was murdered. I thank you for your time and I realize that you probably read this in a book somewhere, but it is time for people to use their brains, not books. Pilgrims were like the Amish they definitely know how to grow food. A food corporation definitely knows how to produce food. We may have taught the Indians, they didn't teach us.

[MsKitkat789]

@DeductiveReason good thought i agree how old r u by the way

[wind4watts]

@DeductiveReason European seeds-crops brought were not tended to properly (they were not Farmers) & Virginia was too hot-raw for them anyway, the Native Indians DID Teach them (by example-copying them) and DID give them large amounts of Food that is Historical fact , the Film shows how unsuitable-unskilled they were most were just Army Conscripts or Rich folk.

[DeductiveReason]

My great-great whatever grandfather was SIr Thomas West (Lord De La Warr). I think you are mistaken on a few facts. The Indians were hunters and the original settlers were farmers. Corn had been raised, sold and exported by Spain for thousands of years. The settlers had no need of being told how to grow corn. Iceland, Germany, France, and Spain had all had settlements here before the Pilgrims. Lord De La Warr had absolutely no need of provisions for the Indians as he was an excessively...

[IguanadonBlues]

Before Plymouth Colony was settled, the Colony of Virginia was established at Jamestown on May 14, 1607. Many make the mistake of thinking this was the colony in Virginia. In fact, there were several outlying locations including that of Berkley Hundred established on December 4, 1619. This date was established under its charter as a day of annual thanksgiving. Today Berkeley Hundred is know as the Berkeley Planation which is the traditional home of the Harrison Family.

[simcha35]

this is very imformative

[xXsnarfx2Xx]

this is gay

[MrOmeMan]

@xXsnarfx2Xx

lolwut

[TheWhiteBuster]

The Americas was not a new world. There were indigenous people living here for time immoral. The hungry white people could not explore this land without the help of the indigenous people who were generous people that fed and c loaded the street people from Europe.

You are full of shit.

[Americcan]

@TheWhiteBuster

Apparently you didn't bother to watch the video before commenting, which makes you a jackass.

[ewaf84]

IT really boggles my mind to know that my family is descended from Normanville, Normandy but are French yet most of the thing you hear about the Jamestown colony is British?!?!?!?!!?

[Americcan]

@ewaf84

The list of passengers/colonists on the first ships are readily available on the web.

[michienana12]

im michelles sister and doin a project really helped

[darklord1928]

Thanks you... now i can complete my stupid project -.-

[jmbhottie23]

@darklord1928 no shit huh, i hate doing project after project about the same god damn thing, its interesting, but the stuff we report on isnt. Everyone has the same facts and presentation. Zzzzzzzzz.....

[sdgsdgsdgsd3]

Its the British Empire not England

[sdgsdgsdgsd3]

@spicy7121 so fail

[mastercheff1216]

This is nonsense, James of Scotland ascended the throne of England but the countries were separately ruled he had no rule of one united country and both monarchies were very distinct, and independently ruled, his son tried the same thing and tried to overule the English parliament in the English civil war, which was Disastrous he failed utterly and Cromwell executed him and conquered Scotland and ireland naming the hole isles the common wealth of England.

[truan007]

this sucks dick

[phazecrow]

most decendants are nephews and ect there's only a hand full that are great grand children I'm one of them if you know of family that's lived in Virginia you have a fair chance of being related to Pocahontas

[Anfaal786]

it's pronounced pow-ih-tan

[turkeyboy5]

im only watchin this cuz my teacher told me to..... :( really stinx!!! i hate social studies and my teachers all ABOUT it!!!

[Angryjanitor3]

Only a terrible teacher would link this video to their students to watch. Probably some dumb black bi@tch named Michelle.

[Anfaal786]

@Angryjanitor3 ha too funny

[Marushall]

There really weren't very many women in the colonies until later, as the Virginia Company's initial purpose of establishing colonies was not necessarily to have families and towns, but mainly to find gold.

[torerortega]

hey i have a question

did women and men have equal roles in the colony? what roles did each have?

[CPCIC]

"pow HAT an" !!!! ARRRGGHHH!

It's clear the maker's of this video have never visited Virginia. Every Virginian (and any informed historian) knows how to pronounce "Powhatan". It's "POW uh TAN". As the old saying goes, the Devil is in the details.
