Answer 1

d

Answer 2

ANSWER: Students should recognize that colonists used a variety of strategies. Virginia and
Massachusetts paid little regard to Indian land rights, particularly as the populations rose, putting stress on the already settled areas. Massachusetts used Indian allies in their war against the Pequot and then betrayed them. Governor Berkeley of Virginia did oppose making war for Indian land in the 1670s, but much of Virginia's early history reflects bitter conflict with Indians, particularly after the Good Friday massacre in 1622, during which the Powhatans killed 25 of the English colonists in a single day. In contrast, the Plymouth settlers and Quakers bought land from Indians in hopes of obtaining a peaceful coexistence. Stronger students should note that the Plymouth settlers were not pacifists and sided with their Indian neighbors in wars against their Indian enemies.
