What a massacre!

Well, karma’s a B!TC#

It wasn’t a very fun time in Ireland or Germany at the time either.

Life was pretty hard all over to make America look like a good prospect.

They were attempting to establish a new policy for dealing with illegal immigration. Unfortunately for them, public pressure against the new policy prevented complete implementation.

It was a Savage Nation and the Powhaten Confederacy failed to implement proper immigration controls.

There is a lesson in there somewhere.

It has to do with Allahwahoo Whackbar.

On this date, the Arab League was formed.

I thought the Indian thing was suburban middle aged women sitting in a circle and tapping on drums like tards.

But ... I thought the Europeans were always the aggressors. Surely they must have deserved the murder and rapine visited on them by the pastoral natives.

[Psalm 73]

They were tired of having their food stores looted by the settlers who just would not plant their own crops.
Many Indian tribes (like the Iraquois) were just plain nasty, but we've got to own our dirty deeds, too.

Not quite “Dances With Wolves,” was it?

As for the rest of the story... Sometime later, one of the local leaders asked for a meeting of all of the Powatan chiefs and elders to a peacemaking feast. At the feast, he told the Powatan that​it was customary among the English to drink a ceremonial toast to commemorate the peace pact. Unknown to the Powatans, there drinks were all laced with poison, thus killing most of the Powatan leadership.

There were three Powhatan wars, this is the second. Opechancanough is legendarily a who-knows-how-many-greats great grandfather of mine, due to having raped Mary Sizemore. Interesting history with Openchancanough, though he’s little known compared to his half-brother Powhatan, who was then Chief or in their language, Werowance.

Recessional of the Sons of the American Revolution:
“Until we meet again, let us remember our obligations to our
forefathers who gave us our Constitution, the Bill of Rights,
an independent Supreme Court and a nation of free men.”

Dr. Benjamin Franklin, when asked if we had a republic or a monarchy, replied "A Republic, if you can keep it."

John Rolfe, husband of Pocahontas (deceased prior to 1622), died in 1622. It's not known if he died in the massacre or from wounds sustained in the massacre. By 1622 he was married to Jane Pierce, my great aunt. Jane's mother, Joan, was my 10th great-grandmother; her eldest daugher, Cicely, is my direct ancestor. They came over to Jamestowne in 1609 and survived the “starving winter”.

By the late 1700's their decendents (my ancestors) had migrated to North Carolina. Hearty stock there.

I’ll be visiting the Jamestown settlement for my vacation in August. This article will help me to know my history.
