Powhatan Indians were mostly from East Virginia. They are indigenous Algonquian people. They speak Virginian Algonquian language. They are the descendants of Powhatans Confederacy.  Powhatan is referred as the leader or the head of the tribe. Many thousands of Powhatans have inhabited East Virginia. At that time, the British settlers were emigrating from Great Britain and they settled in Jamestown.

Powhatan maintained smooth relationships with the English men, though there were some incidents of internal conflict due to cultural differences arose but they were resolved when Powhatan gave their women in nuptial bond to English men.

Initially Powhatan were very compassionate but this was taken advantage and the English men started to demand Food constantly and this tested the patience of Powhatan chief who ordered to stop helping the English men.  

Powhatan’ brother who was young and energetic started a brutal attack and killed many hundreds of English Settlers, this annoyed Englishmen and they were repulsive in waging a brutal war. Gradually, the Englishmen dominated in Jamestown.

What did the 24th amendment to the constitution prohibit?
MrRa [10]
The 24th Amendment prohibited poll taxes or other taxes as qualifications for voting.

Poll taxes had been a way states had discriminated against black voters, by using their lower income status and poll taxes as a way to prevent them from going to the polls.  During the civil rights movement of the 1950s and 1960s, this was challenged.  The 24th Amendment, ratified in 1964, said: "The right of citizens of the United States to vote in any primary or other election for President or Vice President for electors for President or Vice President, or for Senator or Representative in Congress, shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or any State by reason of failure to pay any poll tax or other tax," and added:  "The Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation."
