How long did fighting between Jamestown settlers and the Powhatan trouble last during the 1600s

Intermittent warfare followed for 14 years; an uneasy calm was shattered in 1644 with a final Indian uprising in which 500 whites were slain. Determined British opposition, aided by Christianized Indians, broke the power of the warring confederacy the same year, and Opechancanough was killed.

The First Anglo-Powhatan War was fought from 1609 until 1614 and pitted the English settlers at Jamestown against an alliance of Algonquian-speaking Virginia Indians led by Powhatan (Wahunsonacock). After the English arrived in Virginia in 1607, they struggled to survive through terrible drought and cold winters.

One reason can be security. For example, it is a person's right to be allowed to freely move, however, a country can choose to close down its borders if it believes that there might be danger coming. Another can be punishment. If people are accused of crimes, often their passports are taken away and they are forbidden to go anywhere other than their town because there is an investigation. A third reason can be voting. There are many countries worldwide where a person is forced to vote or else they can't get any documents like passports or ID cards or social security or similar things. This is used as a method to boos the number of voters.
