Original Note:
The colonists had already begun abusing the natives and taking their land prior to the massacre of 1622 that this post presents as the start of the conflict. https://www.worldhistory.org/Indian_Massacre_of_1622/ https://virginiastudies.org/content/1622-attack https://www.loc.gov/classroom-materials/united-states-history-primary-source-timeline/colonial-settlement-1600-1763/virginia-relations-with-native-americans/ The punishment of all Native Americans for the actions of a few would today be considered a war crime. https://casebook.icrc.org/a_to_z/glossary/collective-punishments
