The survival of the Jamestown colony can be most directly attributed to what?

Answer 1

The survival of Jamestown was, in the end, largely a result of agricultural technologies developed by the Indians and borrowed by the English.

Answer 2

The survival of the Jamestown colony can be most directly attributed to the realization that they needed to focus on agriculture, particularly the cultivation of tobacco, for economic sustainability. Additionally, strong leadership from individuals such as Captain John Smith and the arrival of new settlers and supplies through resupply missions played significant roles in the colony's survival. Finally, the establishment of trade relationships with Native American tribes for food and supplies also contributed to their survival.
