Chapter 376 (2/2)

These newly landed British colonists, with blonde hair, blue eyes and white skin, looked like ”white devils” in the eyes of the Powhatans at that time. Coupled with poor communication, the British colonists and the Powhatans had ”the first battle of Britain - Powhatan”. As a result, the Powhatans crushed the poor British colonists.

Although the Powhatans were beaten by the Cherokees, the English colonists in the early 17th century were not really their opponents.

Later, we all know that although the Powhatans won the first battle against the British colonists, the then chief Powhatans began to pity these unfortunate British colonists.

When chief Powhatan implemented the policy of appeasement to the British colonists, the British colonists began to gain a firm foothold in Jamestown, and took Jamestown as a springboard to land in the North American colonies on a large scale.

However, after the death of the last Powhatan chief, whose name was ”Powhatan”, his brother opachanakanu stole the position of Powhatan chief. Because chief opachanakanu, who had always been hostile to the British colonists, felt that the British had occupied the interests of the Powhatans, so by various coincidences, the Powhatans and the British broke out the ”second British Powhatan war”!

Different from the first British Powhatan war which was crushed, in the second British Powhatan war, the British colonists who had established themselves in North America inflicted heavy losses on the Powhatans.

Although there are few British people, they have guns and even artillery in their hands, which greatly offset the disadvantage of the number.

Therefore, as time goes on, the Powhatans who used to have the advantage also lost the advantage they had before. The two sides had been in a stalemate, but in the end, the Powhatans could not hold on. Even the originator, opachanakanu, who had stolen the Powhatans' chief, became a real ”charterer”, and his own territory was leased to the British colonists

More than 100 years have passed since the end of the second British Powhatan war, and the Powhatans were assimilated by the British colonists.

Although the Powhatans still have a certain territory and many ethnic groups, they have almost become extinct now. Even the Royal Court of the Powhatans has no fixed place now.

Yes, today's Powhatans are more like nomadic tribes in the northwest.

Although the Powhatans still have more than 100 tribes, they are too scattered now.

After the stone bear led the expeditionary army over the Blue Ridge and rushed out of the blue ridge from the later Roanoke, the vast plain ahead was the territory of the Powhatans.

However, these originally belonged to the territory of the Powhatans, and now the British colonists have planted a lot of tobacco, corn, wheat and other crops.

Under such circumstances, Shi Xiong led the expeditionary army to push it all the way.

All the Englishmen on the road will be expelled from the battlefield. Stone bear also does not want to turn over with the British now, so it will not give the British a chance to turn over.

But once they meet the tribe of the Powhatans, they naturally accept it. Under the threat of powerful firearms, those Powhatans, as long as they want to live, must accept the fate of being conquered. Otherwise, those powerful firearms can make them want to die
