How did John Rolfe help Jamestown become a profitable colony?
First, John Rolfe married the Christianized Pocahontas, fostering better relations with the Native Americans. This helped increase profits for Jamestown in that the residents didn't have to spend time warring with the indians. More importantly, though, he adapted a strain of tobacco to the warm Virginia climate. This newly developed tobacco was spread throughout the colony and the areas around it, and it grew so well that England was quickly able to exploit the crop and make a large profit. For some time, tobacco was such an important commodity that women would come to the colonies as "tobacco brides," women who came to be wives to tobacco farmers not just as a wife, but as free labor.
What the purpose of Jamestown?
The men of Jamestown were sent by investors to make them a profit and not claim land or settle. It was by accident that it was a success. The 104 men who arrived died of diseases and starvation. Within 6 months only 34 men were alive. If it hadn't been for the introduction of tobacco by Rolfe the colony may have not succeeded at all. Tobacco saved Jamestown.
