What are factors that led to growth in Jamestown?
The two main reasons that Jamestown sprouted was the growth of tobacco and natives. You would think that the crop that 'saved' Jamestown was maybe corn or some type of food, but it isnt. So you may be wondering.. How did tobacco save Jamestown. Well they certainly did not eat it. In England they did not have tobacco so the price of tobacco was very high, so the people that settled in Jamestown grew tobacco everywhere possible, from outside the walls, to their front yards. The british would pay great amounts for the tobacco, allowing Jamestown to buy lots of food and other items need to stay alive from the British. But not even that could keep Jamestown running. When harsh winters came along they would use up all of their food and would starve. That is when they had to turn to the native friendly tribes for help. The Indians would often give them meals, and show them how to conserve their crops so that they had enough for the whole winter. Jamestown finally grew and expanded their walls enough to were they didn't have to depend on the neighboring tribes for help. But as they expanded their walls, they came along other tribes that were not as friendly resulting in wars with them. But that is a whole other topic.
