"I have seen two generations of my people die ... I know the difference between peace and war better than any man in my country. I am now grown old and must die soon; Why will you take by force what you may have quietly by love? Why will you destroy us who supply you with food? What can you get by war? We can hide our provisions and run into the woods; then you will starve for wronging your friends. Why are you jealous of us? We are unarmed, and willing to give you what you ask, if you come in a friendly manner.” – Chief Powhatan
