Is it true that John Rolfe stole the tobacco plant/seed from the Carribean and no Native American actually?
Q. taught anyone from the Jamestown settlement to grow the seeds? I've read this 2 times on various websites but can't find the source of the info. Is this true?
A. Since Christopher Columbus wrote that the natives of San Salvador �drank smoke.� Tobacco was a HUGE hit AND completely controlled by the Spanish.
Originally consumed for its medicinal qualities, tobacco soon spread throughout the Americas. The Spanish began to grow tobacco in their American colonies and export it to the rest of Europe. Europeans quickly became addicted to tobacco.
Spain controlled the monopoly on tobacco.
In 1606 King Philip Ill of Spain decrees that tobacco may only be grown in specific locations--including Cuba, Santo Domingo, Venezuela and Puerto Rico.
Sale of tobacco to foreigners is punishable by death.
In John Rolfe's personal diary he recounts his "ILLEGAL DRUG DEAL".
And that is exactly what it was.
Rolfe located a Dutch drug dealer who was willing to sell him the dope.
Isn't this hilarious?
This probably happened in Trinidad. He stashed the illegal plants, and head to Virginia.
But point of fact, tobacco was considered a medical "drug" and Rolfe purchased stolen property from a thief that was tightly controlled by the Spanish Crown.
Spanish law prohibited the selling of plants to foreigners ..... Rolfe stole them.
