History

Texas declared its secession from the Union on February 1, 1861, and joined the Confederate States on March 2, 1861, after it replaced its governor, Sam Houston, when he refused to take an oath of allegiance to the Confederacy. As with those of other States, the Declaration was not recognized by the United States government at Washington. Some Texan military units fought in the Civil War east of the Mississippi River, but Texas was most useful for supplying soldiers and horses for Confederate forces. Texas' supply role lasted until mid-1863, after which time Union gunboats controlled the Mississippi River, making large transfers of men, horses or cattle impossible. Some cotton was sold in Mexico, but most of the crop became useless because of the Union naval blockade of Galveston, Houston, and other ports.

Answer:

A) He thinks they should try and live in peace because he desires goods to trade.

Explanation:

Powhatan makes the argument that he will work well with the English, without the use of coercion or force of any kind. He and his people are willing to trade and live at peace. He does not threaten. His strong advice is for the settlers to put down their weapons as well as negative attitudes, and work along side Powhatan and his people.

The answer cannot be "B" because he does not ask them to leave, but to lay down their weapons and negative attitude.

The answer cannot be "C" because he does not express that they will attack first. In fact, the gist of the quote alludes to the fact that they have already attacked and either attempted to take or succeeded in taking things by force the could have had just by asking.

The answer cannot be "D" because he is asking them to live in peace. He provides an eloquent assessment of what has happened and what could have happened instead. He paints a picture of how things can be in the future, if they will just live as Powhatan advises.
