I have recently read in a scholalry work that Dale and Gates were paid by the Dutch to promote trade in Virginia (no citation). It also said that the colonists were afraid that the Dutch were inciting the Indians. While it is well known that they were paid, I have not seen the commercial justification. Any references?
