1. The Scotch Irish Protestants in Northern Ireland had created the Palisade to keep the Catholics from destroying their village. The Jamestown settlers created a palisade to protect them from the Indians. They started out with a defense against the Indians.

2. Captain John Smith organized them using the Biblical quotation, "If a man will not work, he shall not eat." He then assigned them to various jobs. They followed Biblical principles, had division of labor, and a Calvinist work ethic.

3. They established a House of Burgesses. They set up a government and solved their own problems. While they started out with English law, they modified it as the situation demanded.

Captain John Smith made a rule. If you did not work, you did not eat. This forced all of the colonists to work. This made Jamestown a successful colony.
