Polack Larper

The Year is 1622 Virginia is finally becoming prosperous thanks to the "stinking weed", tobacco. There's peace with the natives, also thanks to John Rolfe, who married Pocahontas The settlers think they can convert the Indians to Christianity, and so welcome them into their homes, settlements, and plantations as friends rather than avowed enemies And then on March 22, the Indians treacherously breach the peace. Taking advantage of the settlers' hospitality and wish to convert them, they fan out across the settlements and enter the homes of those who think them friends. And then, all at once, they strike and kill those friends. They kill men, women, and children alike, and wipe out a third of the colony in one devastating stroke Yet Virginia survived, and by the time the war ended ten years later, had effectively ended the Indian threat in the Tidewater for good But conversion and friendship were forever off the table as a general thing after this point, as the treachery had been stunning, and that mistake was not to be repeated
