In the early years of the Jamestown settlement, it is estimated that around 70% of the settlers died due to starvation, malnutrition, and disease, with food shortages being a significant factor. Of the original 104 settlers who arrived in 1607, only about 38 survived by the winter of 1609-1610, known as the "Starving Time." This suggests that roughly 7 out of 10 settlers died as a result of the dire food conditions.

During Jamestown's first year of being a settlement, only 60 of the original settlers survived. John Smith then took matters into his own hands when he saw the numbers dwindling and brought them back up with the discovery of the cash crop: tobacco. With tobacco, more and more settlers arrived with the desire of growing tobacco crops and owning land beyond belief.
