Kieran Doherty Quote
Johnson praised Virginia for its uncivilized yet friendly natives and argued that the English settlers’ goals included the betterment of the savages. Of course, the truth was different, as Johnson and Gray might have known had they visited the land they praised so lavishly. The English had high enough purposes, to be sure, but they were all too ready to take by force any land they wished. The Powhatan people, of course, were just as ready to fight to protect their way of life.
