On March 22, 1622, Powhatan warriors killed 25% of Virginia's population and forced the survivors to flee to one of six remaining settlement sites. They starved, and war resumed. This time, though, the Powhatan were vanquished, and Virginia was made a royal colony. The final episode of the Jamestown series, ends with discussion of everyday life in 17th century Virginia.
