Robert S. Tilton
Robert S. Tilton's book reveals how the Pocahontas narrative sparked profound national debates on miscegenation, racial conflict, and colonial expansion.
The narrative surrounding Pocahontas, particularly the legendary account of her intervention to save Captain John Smith from execution and her later marriage to the English Jamestown colonist John Rolfe, transcended simple historical recounting. This "Pocahontas convention" became a profound catalyst for national debate, engaging the public in discussions about fundamental issues such as miscegenation, the complexities of racial conflict between Native Americans and Europeans, and the broader implications and justifications of colonial expansion.
