4. She was the “It Girl”
After Pocahontas was presented to the royal court in England, they played up the fact that she was like a princess, since she was the daughter of the head chief. Everyone was extremely impressed with the beautiful, eloquent young with black hair and caramel-colored skin. The Jamestown Colony became extremely popular among the English, and they suddenly wanted to know everything there was to know about The New World.
People read the stories of John Smith, and the way he described Pocahontas made the public love her even more. Many felt that she was born with a diplomatic nature and that if it were not for her, the colonists and the Native Americans would have never been at peace. They even made a collective stamp with an illustration of Pocahontas on it.
Even in modern times, the story of Pocahontas was retold in movies, TV shows, and books. The version of her story in the Disney animated film has become the story that most people think is the reality.
