Pocahontas was *not* into John Smith (Part 2)
Episode 32, Nov 20, 12:30 PM
When the English popped up on the shore of the “New World,” they were in rough shape. They didn’t have much food, knew next to nothing about their surroundings, and had a boatload of diseases. The English also brought with them an interesting worldview. They figured that Native Americans would be thrilled to: Give them food, work for them, change religions, and one day pay taxes to the King.
They thought wrong.
