The success of the Jamestown colony is largely credited John Smith, who instilled a philosophy of hard work in the colonists. He also traded with the local Native American tribes, notably the Nansemonds.
One key factor that contributed to Jamestown's success was the introduction of tobacco cultivation by John Rolfe. This cash crop not only provided a profitable export but also attracted new settlers and investors to the colony. The economic boost from tobacco helped stabilize Jamestown, transforming it into a viable and sustainable settlement. Ultimately, the demand for tobacco in Europe led to increased trade and growth for the colony.
Jamestown colonists founded the first plantations in a bid to make the colony more financially viable. Pocahantas (the real one) was also kidnapped by the English.
To make money for the Virginia Company.
Pocahantas helped make peace between The Jamestown colonists and the Powhatan because she had married the English colonist John Rofle in the year 1614. John Rolfe wasn't a colonist!! :)
The 1st English settlement in North America was the ill-fated colony on Roanoke Island, Virginia in 1585.Jamestown, Virginia was the first successfulsettlement on 13th of May, 1607.
The colony changed from a forest filled land to a successful colony. It changed from a "nothing" to a land where English settlers, or colonists lived.
The original purpose of the Jamestown colony was to make money for the Virginia Company.
this question doesn't make any sense Jamestown was a settlement in the Massachusetts colony
