Pocahontas was born in June 16, 1904. Pocahontas's real name was Matoaka which meant "little snow feather," but she went by the name Pocahontas which meant " energetic one." When the English colonists came, Pocahontas played and did cartwheels with the colonist kids.
Captain John Smith became her adopted brother. When Powhatan tried to kill John Smith, Pocahontas leapt forward and told Powhatan not to kill him. When Pocahontas was 10, the English brought rats! John recalled Powhatan almost jumped out of his skin!
A few years later, a man named Captain Josh kidnapped Pocahontas and took her to England to the king and queen of England. A man named John Rolfe wanted to marry Pocahontas and he did. When Pocahontas married John Rolfe, she brought 8 years of peace between the English and the Native Americans. Powhatan quickly agreed.
Pocahontas and John had a baby boy named Thomas Rolfe. Pocahontas died at age 22 of smallpox. Without Pocahontas, there might not be a U.S.A because she helped the colony be successful.
