The Cherokee Nation, located in modern day Tennessee and Kentucky, decided to fight with the British. "When the Revolutionary War erupted in 1775, John Stuart, British superintendent of the South, planned to use Indian tribes in conjunction with English troops against the colonists" (Anderson). Cherokee attacks were mainly centered around Georgia and South Carolina. In retaliation, Virginia colonists burned down more than 50 Cherokee villages over the course of the 1776 summer (Anderson).

Slaves were brought over with the settlers to jump start the colony. This colony, funded by the Virginia Company, was placed right next to Powhatan tribal land. When the settlers landed, they found it difficult to grow crops, find food, and build shelter. "Food was running low, though then Chief Powhatan starting to send gifts of food to help the English. If not for the Powhatan Indians help in the early years, the settlement would most likely have failed, as the English would have died from the various diseases or simply starved" (A Short History of Jamestown).

This expedition, although not ending with the gold they wished to seek, was led by Vazquez de Coronado. Vazquez adventured through much of the South West, eventually coming into contact with the Zuni Pueblos in modern day New Mexico. The Spanish forced the Zuni people out of their towns, but still did not find the prophecy of gold. Although Vazquez found many landmarks, such as the Grand Canyon and the Colorado River, he returned empty handed.
