John Smith
John Smith was an original settler and leader of the Jamestown colony. His early contact with the neighboring Powhatan tribe would lead to the success of the colony.
Early in the settlement of Jamestown, Smith was captured by the Powhatan. This capture would eventually produce the story of his capture and being saved by Pocahontas, the chiefs' daughter. During the second year of the colony, Smith became the president or governor of the colony. He used this power to negotiate, sometimes forcibly, with the Powhatan for corn which kept the colony safe from starvation. Smith was wounded by an explosion and was convinced to give up leadership and return to England.
The colonists realized that both women and men needed to be educated so they can have jobs and help with the well being of society. I hope this helps! :)
