The one thing that helped Jamestown survive was tobacco. When Rolfe brought tobacco to the colony he saved it. Jamestown was built in a swampy place with bad water and mosquitoes. Within 6 months only 34 men of 104 were alive. It was also located in a Native American empire of 14,000 who knew that the land Jamestown took was the worse in the area. As more people came to Jamestown they brought with them animals, insects, and plants not native to the landscape. This eventually did affect the native environment and one of the worse items that came to the New World was the honey bee. If the settlers couldn't change the New World they would shape it into England and make it home. This they did over and over until the land was no longer what they found, but what they made.
