John Rolfe and Pocahontas
Name is John Rolfe, I am one of the first English settlers to step foot in North America. Many people can say that i can be arragent but i call it being confident and but having to be hard headed in order to accomplish what i have done. Being the first succsessful cultivationist of tobacco, also being the first to export it to the colony of Virginia. I married the lovely beautiful Pocahontas, also many may say that she was forced to marry me, but we fell in love after her helping me and my exploration: she would translate within tribes. Although, spain had said they would kill anyone that would have seeds to grow tabacco, especailly being non-spainsh, that still did not stop be from trading and making money out of growing and selling tabacco. With my cultivation it helped export cash crop that helped make the Virginia Colony profitable. I was a big impact in history that i got a road named after myself, "The John Rolfe Road".
