Question

William Berkeley was the royal governor of Virginia from 1642 to 1652 and again from 1660 to 1677. He strongly supported the British colonial government's Indian policy in Virginia, which involved taking Native American lands and pushing them farther west. He famously declared that "I thank God, there are no free schools nor printing, and I hope we shall not have [them] these hundred years." This shows his disdain for Native American culture and his support for colonialism. John Smith was a famous colonial leader, but he did not serve as governor of Virginia and did not have a direct role in Indian policy. New settlers and former indentured servants may have had varying opinions on Indian policy, but they would not have had the same level of authority and influence as the governor.
