Bylo r\u00e1no 10. \u0159\u00edjna l\u00e9ta P\u00e1n\u011b 1620. Radostn\u00e1 zpr\u00e1va se okam\u017eit\u011b rozlet\u011bla mezi stovkou emigrant\u016f z n\u00e1bo\u017eensk\u00e9 sekty Purit\u00e1n\u016f, kte\u0159\u00ed prchali z rodn\u00e9 Anglie p\u0159ed tvrd\u00fdmi represemi kr\u00e1le Karla I. Stuarta. Zubo\u017een\u00ed, hladov\u00ed a zcela vy\u010derp\u00e1n\u00ed poutn\u00edci se u\u017e p\u0159es m\u011bs\u00edc plavili z p\u0159\u00edstavu Plymouthu p\u0159es rozbou\u0159en\u00fd Atlantik do Nov\u00e9ho sv\u011bta…<\/p>\n
\u201eFuck\u201c, zvolal n\u00e1hle pastor sekty, kter\u00e1 sv\u00fdm fanatick\u00fdm d\u016frazem na \u010distotu a ryzost v\u00edry nam\u00edchla v\u0161echny katol\u00edky i protestanty v Anglii. Pro sv\u00e9 ove\u010dky hledal \u00fato\u010di\u0161t\u011b v nov\u00e9 osad\u011b Jamestown, kter\u00e1 byla v roce 1607 zalo\u017eena v oblasti z\u00e1toky Chesapeak ve Virginii, jak nazval \u00fazem\u00ed p\u0159ed t\u0159iceti lety mo\u0159eplavec a dobrodruh sir Walter Raleigh. Pastor, kter\u00fd u\u017e si nechal \u0159\u00edkat \u201eOtec poutn\u00edk\u201c doufal, \u017ee zde nalezne nov\u00fd domov pro sv\u00e9 zoufal\u00e9 souv\u011brce, kte\u0159\u00ed p\u0159e\u017eili b\u011bsn\u011bn\u00ed Jeho veli\u010denstva anglick\u00e9ho kr\u00e1le. \u201eFucking Indians\u201c, ulevil si podruh\u00e9 v \u017eivot\u011b ctihodn\u00fd purit\u00e1n. Pod\u00e9l cel\u00e9ho pob\u0159e\u017e\u00ed, kam a\u017e jeho oko dohledlo, se t\u00e1hla vysok\u00e1 ze\u010f…<\/p>\n
Tu nechal ned\u00e1vno postavit velk\u00fd n\u00e1\u010deln\u00edk Powhatan, v\u016fdce v\u0161ech zdej\u0161\u00edch indi\u00e1nsk\u00fdch kmen\u016f. M\u011bl u\u017e s b\u00edl\u00fdmi mu\u017ei zku\u0161enosti. P\u0159ed lety jim povolil na sv\u00e9m \u00fazem\u00ed stavbu osady. Dokonce v r\u00e1mci dobr\u00fdch vztah\u016f s Angli\u010dany dvakr\u00e1t provdal svou dceru Pocahontas. Jej\u00ed druhy mu\u017e John Rolf ji v\u0161ak nechal kv\u016fli uct\u00edv\u00e1n\u00ed n\u011bjak\u00e9ho chlap\u00edka p\u0159ibit\u00e9ho na k\u0159\u00ed\u017ei vym\u00e1chat ve vod\u011b a odvezl ji p\u0159es mo\u0159e b\u016fhv\u00ed kam. N\u00e1\u010deln\u00edkovi do\u0161la trp\u011blivost. L\u00e9ta vych\u00e1zel l\u00edn\u00fdm b\u011bloch\u016fm vst\u0159\u00edc, bez jeho pomoci by nep\u0159e\u017eili jedinou zimu. Chamtiv\u00e9 a smradlav\u00e9 osadn\u00edky zaj\u00edmaly jen jak\u00e9si \u017elut\u00e9 kameny. Kdy\u017e za\u010dali zn\u00e1sil\u0148ovat indi\u00e1nky a zavra\u017edili p\u00e1r jeho bojovn\u00edk\u016f, rozhodl se b\u00edl\u00e9 barbary vyhnat silou. Ani se nemusel moc sna\u017eit. Jamestown si postavili v ba\u017ein\u00e1ch, tak\u017ee v\u011bt\u0161ina z nich zem\u0159ela na otravu ze z\u00e1vadn\u00e9 vody nebo mal\u00e1rii. Nav\u00edc k n\u011bmu pronikly zpr\u00e1vy o b\u011blo\u0161\u00edch na podivn\u00fdch zv\u00ed\u0159atech, kte\u0159\u00ed vyvr\u00e1tili mocnou \u0159\u00ed\u0161i n\u011bkde daleko na jihu a za\u010dali pronikat do z\u00e1padn\u00edch pou\u0161t\u00ed a velk\u00fdch pl\u00e1n\u00ed, a tak\u00e9 o b\u00edl\u00fdch mu\u017e\u00edch, kte\u0159\u00ed jedli \u017e\u00e1by a hrnuli se k velk\u00fdm jezerem na severu…<\/p>\n
Powhatan tedy svolal n\u00e1\u010deln\u00edky v\u0161ech indi\u00e1nsk\u00fdch n\u00e1rod\u016f ob\u00fdvaj\u00edc\u00edch prostor od velk\u00e9 \u0159eky, kter\u00e9 \u0159\u00edkali \u017eabo\u017erouti Saint-Laurent, a\u017e po mo\u0159sk\u00fd z\u00e1liv na jihu do B\u00edl\u00e9ho domu. Tak se naz\u00fdvalo posv\u00e1tn\u00e9 m\u00edsto u \u0159eky Potomac. Volbu vrchn\u00edho n\u00e1\u010deln\u00edka vyhr\u00e1l Powhatan a\u017e pot\u00e9, co sl\u00edbil, \u017ee nech\u00e1 pod\u00e9l cel\u00e9ho v\u00fdchodn\u00edho pob\u0159e\u017e\u00ed postavit kamennou ze\u010f.
