Compare the relations between the English and Indians in Virginia, Plymouth, Massachusetts Bay, and Pennsylvania
What will be an ideal response?
Students should recognize that colonists used a variety of different strategies. Virginia and Massachusetts paid little regard to Indian rights. Massachusetts used Indian allies and then betrayed them. Governor Berkeley of Virginia did oppose making war for Indian land in the 1670s, but much of Virginia's early history reflects bitter conflict with Indians. In contrast, the Plymouth settlers and Quakers bought land from Indians. Stronger students should note that the Plymouth settlers were not pacifists and sided with their Indian neighbors in wars against their enemies.
