∙ 12y agoWhen the colony first got to America, they looked for gold and silver, which eventually led them to disaster.
After the first winter, they realized that looking for gold and silver wasn't the best approach to settling there.
John Smith, learned from the nearby Indians that tobacco could be grown in the soil here.
After a while, tobacco became one of the biggest its in Europe so the tobacco selling in the colony grew.
Tobacco saved the colony from disaster. So that is what the colony made its money off of!
-GOOD QUESTION, I'm sure not a lot of people know this.
