In 1608, conditions in Jamestown were dire, marked by food shortages, disease, and conflicts with Indigenous peoples. The settlers faced harsh winters and a lack of farming knowledge, leading to severe starvation; many resorted to eating rats, dogs, and even each other. By this time, the population had dwindled due to these hardships, with many colonists succumbing to malnutrition and illness. Despite these challenges, the arrival of new supplies and additional settlers in 1608 provided some hope for the struggling colony.
