    I haven't heard anything about the Jamestown massacre in almost 20 years I forgot all about Pocahontas, it's so good to listen to real American history for change and not revisionist woke history.
  • @geebrewer8186
    I had ancestors who survived the 1622 war. They had a farm up river, near Henrico, neighbors to John Rolfe. One ancestor family owned the farm and employed another ancestor as their indentured servant. They appeared as survivors in the 1623 census taken. I had never heard of this war either until I started researching my ancestry.
  • Powhatan village location was found recently on a farming field right off water! Woodentent posts were found in the ground as described by John Smith

    This was brilliant. I'm from Britain and we only know fragments of American history especially early history. I learned so much. I also like that it is bite-sized. Around 10 minutes is easy to listen to and absorb. Now subscribed and looking forward to hearing about the 2nd & 3rd Powhatan Wars. Thanks for your work
  • You deliver excellent content to your audience. It's very interesting material. All of your effort put into creating this video is much appreciated. I'm truly grateful for your help!
  • It's actually from the Powhatan dialect that we get the word "tomahawk", which is still used today. Ironically, the iron/steel-bladed tomahawks that are so iconically associated with American Indians, were actually introduced by the Europeans. People often think of them as only being a Native American weapon, but they were used by the Whites every bit as much, if not more so. The word means something to the effect of "it cuts by striking".

    I was born and raised around the chesapeake, my 2nd time metal detecting beginners luck I hit a 1750s colonial coin! Blew my mind how much history has probaly long been forgotten where seemingly there is nothing anymore. My best guess of the coi. Being a hundred yards from the water maybe trading with a tribe? I have a shoebox full of native artifacts my grandfather found over the years plowing feilds.
  • One of my mother's family ancestors, a Christopher Reynolds, arrived in Jamestown in 1622. It was never clear if he arrived before the massacre or after. Either way, he survived and his bloodline survives to this day four hundred years later. He was a servant on a farm across the James River from Jamestown.
  • I'm very interested in the native American history and ancient history in western Nebraska. I live in a town called Sidney Nebraska. There was a very old native burial here accidentally unearthed during a road build in the 1990s. Anything you can uncover as far back would be great
  • @RT-gv6us
    Eagerly awaiting for a follow up video on the Jamestown Massacre. Very well done.
  • I am a descendant of Richard Pace of Jamestown who, the story goes, was informed by a young native boy of what was to happen and crossed the James River for his and his wife's safety, and alerted the town as to the attack. My other ancestors Rev Samuel Maycock, and his wife died in the massacre.
  • @Jarod-vg9wq
    The complexities of Native American culture, politics, relationships is fascinating.
  • Thank you for sharing this video with us! Stories like this MUST be taught at European and US schools! Please do a video about the third English-Powhatan war and one about the residential schools!
  • Thank you. Like most people. I was totally unaware of this story. Excellent quality video.
  • Please do a video on the Unconquered Seminole who against all odds managed to remain in Florida ! It would be an interesting video.
  • @sdsurfgirl60
    Thank you for this video. As a product of the California school system, this is much different and more informative than what we were taught.
