B. "Being, after some time of entertainment and gifts, dismissed, a while after he came again, and 5 more with him, and they brought again all the tools that were stolen away before, and made way for the coming of their great Sachem, called Massasoyt; who, about 4 or 5 days after, came with the chief of his friends and other attendance, with the aforesaid Squanto."

Explanation:

When the European colonists first came to the Plymouth Plantation, they were outright rejected and hated by the Native Indians. They feared that they will take their land and possessions from them. But that all changed based on the passage-

"Being, after some time of entertainment and gifts, dismissed, a while after he came again, and 5 more with him, and they brought again all the tools that were stolen away before, and made way for the coming of their great Sachem, called Massasoyt; who, about 4 or 5 days after, came with the chief of his friends and other attendance, with the aforesaid Squanto."

The very act of coming back with the things they had previously stolen, the returning of things show that they are reconciling with the thought of a peaceful existence between them. Added to that, they were also accompanied by their "great Sachem" who personifies the highest and most revered being of their community. And later on, the chiefs of other clans or tribes also came which shows their trust in them and their wanted effort to build a peaceful co- existing atmosphere between them. Thus, all these acts of the American Indians show that they wanted to make peace with the European colonists.
