Indian  Massacre in Florida

Oppechancanough massacre in 1622

….they fell again upon the dead bodies, making as well as they could a fresh murder, defacing, dragging, and mangling their carcasses into many pieces, and carrying some parts away in derision,....

The resentment on the part of the Indians indicated by such behavior would surely have resulted in torturing of the practice had been known to them.

He himself cites a case where he applied torture to an Indian:

The Council concluded, that I should terrify them with some torture, to know if I could know their intent. The next day, I bound one in the hold to the mainmast: and presented six muskets....forced him to desire life.....I frightened the other, first with the rack, then with muskets:....

….otherwise he (Powhatan) threatened to destroy us in a strange manner. First, he said he would make us dumb and then kill us... Had torture been practiced it would have made a much more efficacious deterrent.
