The one thing that saved Jamestown was tobacco. When John Rolf introduced tobacco to Jamestown he gave them a future. The selling and growing the crop was so popular they grew it every where they could. It was used as money and brought in money.
It was tobacco, because of the rich and healthy soil Jamestown grew this crop. It was also a crop that was very much so wanted in Britain, providing money for the seller.
When the Jamestown colony was built in Virginia, all the colonists were looking for was gold. When there was no gold found except for pyrite (fake gold), the colonists discovered the cash crop of tobacco. The trade of tobacco raised their profits so much that King James called tobacco the "golden leaf" meaning that the tobacco was there form of gold.
I think it was because they were growing tabacco, and that was very much liked in England so they had a lot of money and such to where they were very profitable.
The Europeans made money with furs, fish, and tobacco. The Spanish made a lot of money in gold and silver but there was not much gold in the American colonies.
The Virginia colonies grew tobacco, cotton, indigo, and rice. 90% of the colonies were farming in various ways. It was tobacco that saved Jamestown when it was introduced by John Rolfe to the colony. So much was grown that it was grown in every bit of land including streets and was used as money.
Southern colonies made much of their money through agriculture. They grew a variety of crops like cotton and tobacco which were in demand back home.
actually john rolfe introduced the American crop tobacco to the colony. This crop did save Jamestown. Also, they offered 50 acres of land to any man, woman, or child who could pay their way to Jamestown, which lead to a higher population. that is true but they where the first colony were everyone didnt die.

Save some money and don't get any.
enslaved African Americans most of whom worked in tobacco... Work the fields... To do the work for him, often in exchange for farm products.
I don't know much about the colonies, but I do know tobacco changed Jamestown a whole lot. John Rolfe started growing tobacco, and got a bunch of different types. A few types sold really well and got the colonies a bunch of cash.
