Best Answer

they survived by eating cattle and crops that they planted and grew

Not exactly :) They did not spend time constructing shelter or storing food, and paid dearly in the harsh winters.

With the introduction of a west Indian tobacco that the English preferred, the colonies became prosperous under a staple crop. They grew large tracts of the tobacco and made a great profit.

The colonists survived off ofanimals and crops. In unsuitable climates the cattle and animals died so some of the colonists died also. When they didn't have animals they grew plants and vegetables, or they moved to different colonies to get more food.

They planted tobacco, which was their profitable crop. They sent it back to England in exchange for money.
