The English settlers and local Indians in Virginia were bound to have conflict because English colonists began to build permanent societies in Native American land.
The first permanent settlement in the New World for England was built in Jamestown Virginia. A group of over 100 English men came to North America for new economic opportunities. However, they did not anticipate conflict with the Native Americans. This all changed when the Native Americans saw that the English were establishing their own village. This caused tension between the two, as these Native Americans (the Powahatan Confederacy) had been in this area for a significant amount of time.
