Tobacco was a new discovery for the colonists at Jamestown. They quickly learned how to grow it from the Native Americans and exported it to Europe.
The settlers were, in fact, both British. Jamestown settlers were mainly from London (England). However, 50% of the Jamestown settlers were classed as "gentlemen". These were not working class men but were landowners and people who did not do manual labour. This caused issues as they did not have the necessary skills like carpenters, builders farmers and blacksmith which were needed to initiate the building of the colony.
Much of the contrast between the two colonies had to do with the reason they came to America. Jamestown settlers sought economic gain and were sponsored by the Virginia Company of London, an organization that wanted to expand English trade and get a wider market for Britainâ??s manufactured products. New England settlers moved to America due to the religious persecution they had suffered in England. While most people in the Jamestown colonies were members of the Church of England, the Pilgrims were dissenters from the Church of England and established the Puritan Church.
The cultivation of tobacco increased as the market demand for this new product sky rocketed in Europe. The other result was that new plantations were created at the expense of Native American owned land.
what was the effect of the weakening tobacco market on slavery?
yes they did
Curing tobacco is when a tobacco farmer hangs the tobacco leaves in a barn to dry and age prior to sending them to market for purchase by tobacco companies.
The term used for the products that can be shipped to England but not to any other foreign market is "enumerated goods". One example of such a good is the common tobacco.
As of July 2014, the market cap for British American Tobacco p.l.c. (BTI) is $112,673,170,791.72
