[Verginius Rufus]

Powhatan's brother Openchancanough led an attempt in 1622 to wipe out all the white colonists in Virginia (they didn't try to kill the Africans, a few of whom were there by then). A sizeable number were killed.

Benjamin Franklin's maternal grandfather, Peter Folger (1617-1690), learned the language of the local Indians and spoke out against the Puritans' oppression of the Indians--he saw King Philip's War as God's punishment of them for their sin of persecution.

This article states that the Powhatan’s tried to distance themselves from him after his death. America should do the same with Obama after he vacates the white house.
