Jamestown settlers established their settlement in 1607 along the banks of the James River in present-day Virginia, primarily seeking silver and gold. However, they quickly found that the area was not rich in precious metals; instead, the settlers faced numerous challenges, including harsh conditions and conflicts with Indigenous peoples. Their initial focus on gold and silver proved detrimental, as it diverted attention from more sustainable practices like agriculture. Ultimately, the colony's survival hinged on tobacco cultivation rather than the search for immediate wealth.
