If Pocahontas and John Smith had never become friends, Jamestown would never have been the first successful English colony. Since Pocahontas was the daughter of the chief in a Native American village nearby, she could stop him from attacking the settlement. The Natives in that area had heard about the Europeans attacking America. They had also heard about what happened to the tribe on Roanoke Island. So, when members of the tribe saw the Englishmen’s ships, they were ready. While the rest of the tribe wanted to attack the Europeans, Pocahontas wanted to learn more about them. Pocahontas stopped her father from ordering an attack on the Europeans many times. If Pocahontas had not been there to stop the chief from attacking, the survivors would have probably gone back to England. But Pocahontas was there, and as a result, Jamestown is still a place to see today!

If John Smith never became friends with Pocahontas John Smith probably would have died because there was a group of settlers who conspired to kill John. Pocahontas told him about their plot and saved his life. If Pocahontas wasn’t so brave John could have died and couldn’t have started Jamestown. If he didn’t start Jamestown, English settlers would not have had a place to go,p. In conclusion, their friendship was a really important part of history.

If John Smith and Pocahontas have not become friends he would have been dead because Pocahontas stepped in when he was about to be killed. Jamestown would have lost their leader and would have go to war with the native tribe.

i agree because pocahontas stepped in the moment of john smith's execution and if they never met captain john smith would be dead and the english would not have a captain and then they could not survive without someone to listen to because they are all gentlemen and they won't do anything because they refuse to work

If John Smith never became friends with Pocahontas, Jamestown would not exist because he would have been killed by Powhatan. Pocahontas was Chief Powhatan's daughter. She wanted to learn about the English settlers instead of harming them. If they would have gone to war, the colonists would have lost because there were more Powhatan's than the colonists. In addition, if John Smith would have been dead, Jamestown would've failed because he would've never been there to help English settlers colonize. Jamestown is known as the most successful English Settlement. It wouldn't be in existence had they not met. It is interesting to say that the one little movement of Pocahontas saved all of Jamestown.

If Pocahontas and John Smith had never become friends, Jamestown would never have been the first successful English colony because Pocahontas to her dad that they would not take anything. Also she helped by giving them food and supplies. One last thing, they would not attack them at ALL. what would happen if Pocahontas did not become friends with John Smith.

If Pocahontas never became friends with John Smith wouldn’t Jamestown wouldn’t have been a successful colony. It wouldn’t have been successful because the native tribe would’ve broken down Jamestown. The another reason that Pocahontas’s relationship was important was because she was the leader’s daughter of the native tribe. Those are some reasons Pocahontas’s relationship with John Smith was really important!

If John Smith and Pocohontas didn't become friends, then John Smith would have died because the Powaton's would have executed him. That didn't happen because Pocohontas was nice and said, "Don't kill these people, they didn't know we were living here before they came". Pocohontas' father was the ruler of the tribe so she told her Dad not to kill John Smith. Pocahontas and John Smith both wanted their people to be friendly to each other. Since John Smith lived, he helped the people of Jamestown build a colony and crops. John Smith told people if you don't work, you'll go home hungry. So he motivated the people to build the first settlement that worked.

If John Smith and Pocahontas never became friends then John Smith would have died because Powaton tried to kill him and Pocahontas saved him. I she didn't save him Jamestown would would have lost their leader, start war, they would probably get nothing done because John Smith was the person that made the no work no eat policy. That is how it affected the success in Jamestown.

If John Smith and Pocahontas would never have been friends then the Powhatans would have killed John Smith. There would have been war and nobody would get along. They also would have never met. So it would start war, killed the settlers leader, and would break peace and happiness at Jamestown forever.

If John Smith had never become friends with Pocahontas, Jamestown would probably not have become the first successful colony. The Powhatans would have destroyed the colony. Pocahontas's dad was the chief of the Powhatan Native Americans and he wanted to attack John Smith and his crew. Pocahontas stopped her father and helped John Smith and the settlers of Jamestown. If they had not met, there would have been many more fights between the settlers of Jamestown and the Powhatans. That is what would happen if John Smith and Pocahontas had never become friends.

If John Smith and Pocahontas never became friends then John Smith would’ve died and Jamestown probably wouldn’t be here today. If Pocahontas never decided to save John Smith then the settlers at Jamestown wouldn’t know what to do or go. Also if Pocahontas never became friends with John Smith then the English wouldn’t have their first successful colony. Pocahontas had a good relationship between her and John so she decided to save him so Jamestown is still here.

If John Smith and Pocahantas never become friends, Jamestown would not be successful. John Smith would have died if they had not become friends because Pocahantas’ Dad was trying to kill John. Jamestown would not be successful if John had died but, Pocahontas saved John. If Pocahantas had never become friends with John, there could have been war between the Indians and the English and Jamestown would have never been a settled colony. In conclusion John Smith’s and Pocahontas’ friendship is very important to American History.

If Pocahontas never met John Smith, and they were never friends, then John Smith would have died from the Indians when they captured him. If Pocahontas didn't save John Smith, Jamestown would be in a very bad position as people would start taking days off again, and they wouldn't get anything done.They would also run out of supplies eventually. John Smith was the leader, and he kept everything in control. If the people of Jamestown didn't work they wouldn't get to eat. No work no eat!

If Pocahontas and John Smith had not become friends then I think Jamestown would not survive. First, the Indians would kill him because Pocahontas would not save him. With no john Smith there would not be the "no work no eat". Because of that English settlers would pack up and leave. Next, they would get in fights with Indians. Those are some things that would happen if Pocahontas was not friends with John Smith.

If John Smith and Pocahontas had never became friends the Powhatan tribe would have killed the leader of the settlers in Jamestown (John Smith is the leader), and they would have destroyed Jamestown with the settlers as well.

If John Smith never became friends with Pocahontas he would have been killed by her tribe. She saved him when her father the chief wanted to have him executed. If she had not saved him then Jamestown would not have survived and the people probably would have died from starvation. He was the one who taught the people the no work no eat policy that made people learn how to work hard when they were business men who did not know how to do that. John Smith also taught the people how to trade to get what they needed. If Pocahontas did not become friends with him then none of that would have happened for Jamestown.

If John Smith and Pocahontas never became friends John would have died when the Indians captured him. This would have lead to the failure of Jamestown.With John Smith being dead, things would have been like before where not many people worked and food was scarce because whatever was harvested quickly disappeared by those who were to lazy to work. Jamestown would never have been built quickly because John Smith would not have been able to tell everyone but if they didn’t work they couldn’t eat. In conclusion, the success of Jamestown depended on the friendship of John Smith and Pocahontas which became stronger after they were each able to help their people.

If John Smith and Pocahontas had never become friends, Jamestown would not have been successful settlement. One reason why is the Natives and the English would have went to war as Pocahontas helped keep the peace. Another reason why is that John Smith would have been killed by the Natives because he was captured three times. The final reason why is that John Smith wouldn’t have been alive to make the people of Jamestown work on the settlement’s base. These reasons are why Jamestown would not have been a success if John Smith and Pocahontas had never become friends.

If John Smith had never become friends with Pocahontas things would have been different for the Jamestown colonists. First of all, John Smith would have been killed by the Powhatan and Jamestown would not have a leader. They all would have died if it weren’t for John Smith’s policy of no work no eat. Another reason is that Pocahontas and her people brought food to trade with the settlers and without that they would have died. In conclusion, their friendship saved Jamestown.

If John Smith and Pocahontas had never become friends, it would have affected the settlement of Jamestown. John Smith would have died so the English and Natives probably wouldn’t be friends. The Natives would’ve attacked and killed the English. Also, the English wouldn’t have known how to plant crops, fish, or how to build a house. In conclusion, I think if John Smith and Pocahontas had never met, the settlement of Jamestown would have not made it.

When John Smith met Pocahontas, it had very good effects on his life and Jamestown. First, John Smith was a very important person to Jamestown with his no work, no eat policy. If he had died Jamestown would have failed horribly, and it would be a mess. Because of Pocahontas, peace was kept in between her tribe and Jamestown. Many more colonists or Natives would have died before she died without her. Without John Smith or Pocahontas, Jamestown wouldn't have succeeded as well, and definitely wouldn't have become the first permanant English colony.

If these two people had not become friends then things would have gone differently for Jamestown. If John Smith and Pocahanes had not become friends then John Smith would have no one to save him from the indian tribe and the British would go back to slacking off and Jamestown would not be a successful settlement. That is what would have happened if they had not met.

Here are some things that could have happen if Pocahontas never met John Smith. John Smith would not have been part of Pocahontas's tribe and the chiefs would not have sent food to the starving English is Jamestown. Starvation could affect Jamestown and destroyed it. Also it could have not been the first succesful colony if it was destroyed. Those are some of the things that could have happened if Pocahontas never met John Smith.

if john smith and Pocahontas never met Jamestown would probably not be here today. john smith was captured a lot by Indians and other people. Pocahontas saved him three times and got married after that. Jamestown would have gone really badly if they never met because if the Indians killed john smith they would have got into a fight. those are just some reasons about Pocahontas and john smith and what have gone wrong if they didn't meet.

If John Smith and Pocahontas never met this would happen. John Smith would have been killed and people would have never known where he went.Then the natives would have gone to war with the colonists of Jamestown. Then after that without the no work no eat policy more English men will stop working until there is no food then everybody will die. That would happen if John Smith and Pocahontas never met.

If John Smith had never been friends with Pocahontas he may have been captured by the Native Americans and killed. Pocahontas was the chiefs daughter and because of that the Native Americans did not hurt him. Their friendship helped keep peace between the settlers in Jamestown and the Native Americans. The settlers and Native Americans helped each other and Jamestown was able to get bigger. When Pocahontas died the Native Americans attacked Jamestown and killed a lot of people.

If Pocahontas and John Smith had never been friends, then John Smith would have been executed, and Jamestown most likely wouldn’t be there. He was very important and it would have been terrible if he had died, because he was there one who came up with the “No work, no eat” policy. The other settlers of Jamestown wouldn’t have been able to work, because none of them were willing to without the policy. John Smith was also the leader, so the settlers of Jamestown would have probably fought over who would be the new leader. They also would have fought with the Natives.

If John Smith never became friends with Pocahontas, Jamestown would never be the first permanent English colony. I think this because Pocahontas would never have told her dad not to kill John Smith and the other people at Jamestown if they were never friends. Also, Jamestown would fail and people would not want to make the journey to Plymouth. Last, Jamestown would fail because if the colonists won the fight with the natives they would not have the supplies to last a month. That is what I think would happen if John Smith and Pocahontas never became friends.

If John Smith and Pocahontas never became friends then Powhatan would have attacked the English. Then John Smith might have died and they wouldn’t have a strict and helpful leader. That would lead to more people being lazy, not doing their job, and giving up. If Pocahontas and John Smith didn’t become friends, then Jamestown might have been another failed attempt at settling in the new world.

If Pocahontas and John Smith had never become friends, John Smith would have died to the Powhatans. Because they where friends, it allowed the settlers of Jamestown to trade with the Powhatans. If Pocahontas had never become friends with John Smith, they would not have been able to traded food, and that could’ve led to the settlers in Jamestown dying from starvation.The final reason, is that if Pocahontas would have never become friends with John Smith, the Powhatans would have attacked the settlers of Jamestown. If the Powhatans would have won that attack, there would be no such thing as Jamestown. That is what could have happened if Pocahontas and John Smith had never become friends.

John Smith and Pocahontas were friends, but what if they didn’t have a relationship? When the Powhatan (an Indian tribe) first saw the English they were worried and wanted to attack. They captured John Smith and they were going to kill him. Pocahontas saved him. She stopped the attack on Jamestown by doing this and soon, Pocahontas started to visit the Englishmen to try to help them. If Pocahontas and John Smith had not become friends, the Jamestown colony would not have survived. The Powhatan would have killed everyone in the settlement. That could have happened if John Smith and Pocahontas had never become friends.

What would of happened to Jamestown if John Smith and Pocahontas never became friends? Here are three examples of what could of happened. First, the people of Jamestown could make the Powhatan tribe mad, and they, or the tribe could of been wiped out. Second, the tribe could not have helped them, and then the people of Jamestown would most likely be dead. Finally, if John Rolfe had heard about this he might not have wanted to come, therefore Jamestown would have no "Cash Crop". These are reasons why Pocahontas and John Smith's friendship was essential for the sake of Jamestown.

If John Smith didn't become friends with Pocahontas then Jamestown probably wouldn't exist. Powhatan had a plan to kill the Englishmen, for he knew that they were trouble. On the other hand, Pocahontas was fascinated by the Englishmen and wanted to learn more about them. When Powhatan captured John Smith and planned to kill him, Pocahontas stood up for him many times because she knew if her tribe killed John Smith all of Jamestown would fall apart. That would have probably happened if John Smith didn't become friends with Pocahontas. Their friendship affected the future of the English settlements.

If John Smith and Pocahontis had not become friends it would have affected Jamestown heavily. John Smith was wanted dead by the people of Powhatan so the Natives wanted to capture and kill him. When they were about to kill him, Pocahontas stepped in and convinced her Dad, who was Powhatan, to not kill him. Pocahontis saved John’s life because she had met him before this. Pocahontis was interested with the Englishmen so she wanted to learn more about them. If Pocahontis had not stepped in, John, who was the leader of Jamestown, would’ve died. Because of this the Natives and the settlers would have gotten into arguments and it might have gotten out of hand so settlers would probably have to leave. If they did leave, it would’ve not been the first successful English colony. In conclusion, if Pocahontis was not friends with John Smith, Jamestown would probably have failed.

If John Smith and Pocahontas never became friends then Powhatan would have killed him, because Pocahontas would not be able to prevent that from happening. Also Pocahontas would have never been able to learn from the English as she wanted. The Native Americans would have killed most of the settlers, and Jamestown would have not been the first successful English Colony.

If John Smith and Pocahontas had never met and became friends, then Jamestown would have never succeeded. For example, Pocahontas was the Chief (Powhatan) daughter, and as the daughter of the chief she was able to talk to her father and stop them from killing John Smith ( who was about to get killed many times), who was the leader of Jamestown at the time, he also made the, no work, no eat policy. So if that never happened Jamestown would have failed for sure. So if Pocahontas and John Smith had never met, John Smith would have died and the colony would have failed, but because of Pocahontas John Smith stayed alive along with the colony.

If John Smith and Pocahontas had not become friends Jamestown would not be successful. Pocahontas’s dad wanted to kill the Englishmen because he heard about the Englishmen killing Indian tribes. If Pocahontas and John Smith didn’t become friends, John Smith would have been killed. If John Smith was killed, Jamestown would not have followed the no work no eat policy. In the end, if Pocahontas and John Smith didn’t become friends, Jamestown would not exist.

If John Smith and Pocahontas were never friends then stuff between Jamestown and the Powhatan Tribe. If John Smith was never friends with Pocahontas then Jamestown would have been attacked earlier. Also John Smith would have been killed when the Powhatan tribe saved him. Last Jamestown would have been destroyed and the settlers would have to go back to England. This is what would have happened if John Smith wasn’t friends with Pocahontas.

If John Smith and Pocahontas had never become friends, Jamestown would have had many more wars with the Indians. Also, John Smith would have gotten killed when he got captured. Pocahontas was Chief Powhatan’s daughter and she is the one who saved him. Without John Smith, Jamestown would not have had a leader. It would not have become a successful English colony. In conclusion, if John Smith and Pocahontas were not friends, Jamestown would have been a failure.

If Pocahontas had never met John Smith and become friends with him, it would have impacted the success of Jamestown. This would have happened because Pocahontas saved John Smith and if she had not, he would have died. If John Smith would have died, Jamestown would have failed. One of his important impacts was the "no work no eat" rule. In another words, if you did not work a day, you did not eat that day. In addition, if they had never been friends, Pilgrims would not have come over because it would have been a failed colony. If they were not friends, then the peace between the natives and the English would not exist and they would die. Pocahontas' dad was the chief of a local tribe and she helped to stop him from attacking Jamestown.

If John Smith and Pocahontas were never friends Jamestown would never have succeeded. The first reason why their friendship is important is that Pocahontas acted as a friendly connection between the Powhatan indians and the colonists. She helped with providing food for the new settlers especially during the 1609 drought. Another reason is that she helped negotiate with release of Powhatan prisoners so that there wouldn't be as much tension between the colonists and the Native Americans. Lastly, there are stories of how Pocahontas saved John Smith's life a couple of times. The first time is when he was kidnapped by Pocahontas' brother and they were going to kill him, but she protected him so they backed off. The second time was when her father had planned an attack on the colonists because of threats they were making. Pocahontas warned John Smith of the plans so he could be ready for the attacks. Without the relationship between Pocahontas and John Smith from helping with the survival of their colonists, keeping a peaceful relationship with the Native Americans and having courage to interact with the new immigrants, the survival of the Jamestown colony would not have been successful.

John Smith and Pocahontas were very good friends. But if they never became friends, a lot of bad things could’ve happened. One example is that when Pocahontas’s tribe was about to kill John Smith, Pocahontas stepped in and stopped the tribe. Another example is that Pocahontas helped her tribe keep peace with Jamestown. She helped Jamestown not go to war with her tribe. If Pocahontas and John Smith never became friends, a lot of bad things could’ve happened!

V|If John and Pocahantas never became friends, a lot of things would have gone wrong. John Smith probably would’ve died from the Idians. Then Plymouth would be the successful colony. Jamestown would not have developed because everyone one else was a wimp. Jamestown got lucky Pocahontas and John Smith became friends.

If Pocahontas and John Smith had never become friends then Jamestown would have never succeeded. One of the reasons is that the Indians tried to kill John Smith three times but Pocahontas got in the middle and convinced them not to. If they would have killed him then the English people would have been angry at the Native Americans and then the would have fought. Also if John Smith would have died then Jamestown would not have had a good leader and it would have probably failed. Those are some of the reasons that Pocahontas and John Smith friendship helped Jamestown survive.

If Pocahontas and John Smith did not become friends, Jamestown would have failed as a colony. Pocahontas saved John Smith's life by stopping the Native Americans from killing him. John Smith became the leader of the colony, helping people survive. He made a rule that only people who work to help the colony get to eat. Pocahontas and John Smith's friendship helped the colony survive.

Jamestown might of had a war with the Native Americans because they killed there leader. That is a reason why Jamestown would of never succeeded without John Smith and Pocahontas becoming friends.

If Pocahontas wasn't friends with John Smith, Jamestown would have been an unsuccessful colony. If Pocahontas wasn't John Smith's friend, then Powhatan would have killed John Smith. Without John, the colony would not have been successful, because John Smith became Jamestown's leader and made rules like, "no work, no eat". Those rules helped Jamestown be successful. If he had died, nobody would have worked, and everything would have been terrible. That is what would have happened if Pocahontas wasn't friends with John Smith.

If Pocahontas and John Smith would have never become friends it would effect Jamestown by the Jamestown colony becoming the 2nd unsuccessful settlement because they they would not have had John Smith to push them to do their best but probably they would have gotten wiped out because when Pocahontas and John Smith were not friends they did not like the Jamestown colony people and that is what would have happened if John Smith and Pocahontas never became friends.
