Answer 1

Answer:

3. The Indians sought to use the Europeans to realize their own goals.

Explanation:

Jamestown was founded in 1607 by an English Company under the American expedition orders of King James I. It was the first permanent English colony in North America.

At first, the settlers did not receive much opposition from the Indians as the Chief of Powhatan tribes in the Chesapeake Bay region wanted to maintain a peaceful relation. During the initial years of the settlement, the English settler suffered great famines, hunger and skirmishes from the natives.

However, under the orders Chief Powhatan, the Indians sought to use the Europeans to realize their own goals. They provided corns to the English settlers during winters and famines and helped them build shelters and provided laborers for plantations. This was all done in order to gain good faith among and to strike better negotiations for economic and political goals .
