the starving time
The winter following John Smith's departure from Jamestown in 1609-1610 is often referred to as the "Starving Time." During this period, the settlers faced severe food shortages, compounded by harsh winter conditions and conflicts with Indigenous peoples. Many colonists resorted to desperate measures, including scavenging and cannibalism, leading to a drastic decline in the population. The winter resulted in the deaths of a significant portion of the Jamestown settlers.
