In the early 1600s, English colonists in Virginia developed hardened attitudes toward local American Indians primarily due to violent conflicts like the Jamestown Massacre and ongoing territorial disputes. This resulted in fear, distrust, and hostile interactions as the settlers encroached on Native lands and engaged in retaliatory violence. The culmination of these tensions contributed to a long history of conflict between the colonists and Indigenous peoples in the region.
