Answer:

The Conflicts between the Virginia colonists and the American Indians was always a result of a struggle for limited resources.

Step-by-step explanation:

For example, in the first colonies like Roanoke and Jamestown, colonists were in a very precarious situation, and attempted to establish trade relations with the Natives. Because the Natives were not so interested in trade, conflict erupted.

Once the Virginia colony was established, more a more settlers arrived, occupying more and more land. Native Americans were pushed back to the backcountry, but they naturally put up a fight to this. Unfortunately for them, they had inferior technology, and were demographically diminished due to the contagion of infectious Eurasian diseases for which they did not have antibodies.
