What was brown gold and how did it save Jamestown?

"Brown gold" referred to tobacco, which became a highly valuable cash crop in the early 17th century. In Jamestown, Virginia, tobacco cultivation provided a profitable export that revitalized the struggling settlement's economy. The success of tobacco farming attracted more settlers and investment, ultimately ensuring the survival and growth of Jamestown as a permanent colony. This agricultural boom helped transform Virginia into a key player in the colonial economy.
