Powhanton confederacy was a group of Native American tribes, in the Virginia area. Their relationship with British settlers was not good. They thought that the British wanted to enslave them.
The British did not want to make an effort to earn anything, rather they wanted faster means of wealth and comfort. The Leader of the Powhanton confederacy tried to befriend the British by showing his hospitality through food and offerings. He invited them on events and treated them nicely to make them feel comfortable.
A lay brother who escaped from the French invasion warned missionaries in a near by mission about a possible invasion. They overreacted and thought they needed to replace the missions they could lose and sent Marques de Aguayo to create Los Adaes and La Bahia.
