Best Answer

Smith came to Jamestown in it's second year and did not " go to her land". Jamestown settled on an Native American empire of 14,000 people. They took the land with no respect for the people all ready living there. If the land hadn't been the worse in the area the men of Jamestown most likely would have been attacked. As it was the Native Americans knew that there were problems with swampy land, bad water, and disease so the 104 men built a fort in the "slums" of the empire. Later, after returning to England Smith lied in his book about his role in Jamestown and his meeting of Pocahontas, but by that time she was all ready dead.

What year did John Smith meet Pocahontas?

John Smith never married Pocahontas. In fact, Pocahontas is only a nickname given to Matoaka meaning playful. When John Smith visited the Powhatan tribe he actually was treated very well. Matoaka was about 11 years old at the time. When Pocahontas was 17, she was abducted and imprisoned in Jamestown for a year. She was released after she agreed to marry John Rolfe. They had a son Thomas Rolfe and Matoaka, then known by the name of Rebecca Rolfe, died at the age of 22 in March of 1617.


Why was John Smith not married to Pocahontas?

She didn't save Smith and she was a little girl. The story we know is not true. Actually the colonist landed in an area of 14,000 Native Americans and in the worse land in the area. Powhatan pretty much left them alone. I think he figured that they would die from the bad water and disease . He was fairly right. Within 6 months there were only 34 men left alive of the 104 who came. It wasn't until after his death that the brother of Powhatan attacked the colony. The story about Smith is also not true. He did NOT save Jamestown. He was only there a very few months and he lied about his contribution to the settlement in a book he wrote several years later. He also made up the story about Pocahontas and she died young so couldn't refute his story. The man who did save Jamestown was the husband of Pocahontas and gave tobacco seeds to the colony. That was John Rolfe.

Why did Powhatan spare smiths life?

According to popular legend, Powhatan spared the captive and colonist John Smith because his daughter Pocahontas intervened, having fallen in love with him. This is how the story has been played out in the Disney movie Pocahontas. These events, however, cannot be entirely substantiated as John Smith was known to tell many far-out tales about his time in captivity.
