if no: No, i wouldn't have helped the colonists if i was a member of the Powhatan Confederacy because i wouldn't want the colonists taking up land that should be ours!

What country did the north fear the was an ally of the confederacy?

The North was in fear that Great Britian was an ally of the Confederacy. The theory was that the Confederacy would exchange cotton for British military and naval supplies. There was even a document proposing that Jefferson Davis would give control of the Confederacy to the Queen of England and in exchange the Confederacy would be treated as a "Priveledged Colony". (Great Britian coincidentally had a cotton surplus the year that the Confederacy offered cotton for military and naval supplies.)

He was involved in trading and conflicts with the early colonial settlers of Jamestown in Virginia (from 1607). His daughter Pocahontas (Matoaka c.1595-1617) married planter John Rolfe in 1614.Powhatan may have misunderstood the intentions of the colonists, which was to take possession of unoccupied American lands as their own (as was common practice in Europe). After successfully attacking them, he may have expected that they would follow the practices of native American tribes, and cease their expansion into the Confederacy lands.His younger son Opechancanough became the Powhatan, or chief, after his death, and attacked the English in 1622. This led to a war that destroyed most of his tribe's warriors, along with its power in the region.

Relations between the settlers of Jamestown and the Powhatan Confederacy improved significantly during the early 1610s, particularly after the marriage of Pocahontas, a Powhatan woman, to Englishman John Rolfe in 1614. This union fostered a period of relative peace and cooperation, known as the "Peace of Pocahontas," which allowed for trade and better communication between the two groups.
