This settlement was called Jamestown. Settlers went to Virginia entrusted by a powerfuland rich group of English investors with the purpose to find pearls, gold, silver or any other valuable product that could satisfy their ambitious pockets. English settlers experiencedtragical situations; lots of them were killed by Amerindians, deaths from hunger, malaria, but the most devastating cause of dying was famine, which motived them to committee cannibalism.

Settlershad a difficult relation with Amerindians, but Captain John Smith could captivate the teenager’s heart of a beautiful Indian called Pocahontas, she saved him from the furious Amerindians thatwere preparing to kill him, and she as the most extraordinary angel protected John shielding his boy with her own.
