When the English first come to the shores of the New World, they were determined to bring with them the vision of people co-existing and working together in a land which they can call their own. The Englishmen of old have basically the same dream for the land and its people; a fundamental motive based in one single goal— emancipation and deliverance from the oppressive colonial empire of the papist Spaniards. The Englishmen believe that if they enlist the assistance of these hapless people in overthrowing the cruel conquistadores, the natives will be free from the oppressive slavery imposed on them by the colonizers. In consequence, the English will be able to settle in the New World together with the unfettered people improving and manuring the land for the benefit of everyone. This paper will try to present the dreams that early English settler have for the people of Virginia and why they failed to achieve and reached their goals. The most noble of these dreams is to unshackle the enslaved people and grant them the liberty from the Spanish oppression. Yet, naively these same liberators did not consider the fact that their own objective after the liberation — to get the natives work with them is as much oppression as what the Spaniards are doing.
The second dream of enlisting the support and collaboration of the enslaved natives will not serve their mission well since the natives of the Americas are already suspicious and distrustful of any foreigners in their land. The vision of a cooperative natives willing to work with liberators in tilling the land (unlike the thoughts of the Spaniards of plunder) is bound to fail since the natives of the New World have a different way of doing things and have established their own cultures that there is no way that the English can change them. Similar to the Spanish plunder the New Worlds gold and silver, this particular intention can also inflict depravation to the natives. Corollary to this is the fact that establishing a common goal for both parties is highly unlikely because of the very dissimilar culture and background of both parties. And lastly, the English dream of populating the newfound land with people of questionable characters and integrating them into the natives culture and hoping for a peaceful co-existence will never come to light. The natives of the New World are fiercely independent people who fight each other to gain superiority over each other. Embracing vastly different people from another world with a very different culture is not part of their consciousness.
