Jamestown became the first successful English colony primarily by cultivating tobacco as its cash crop. John Rolfe's introduction of a sweeter variety of tobacco made it highly popular in England, leading to increased demand and profitability. This economic success provided the necessary resources for the colony to thrive, attracting more settlers and investment. Additionally, the cultivation of tobacco required a labor-intensive workforce, which eventually led to the establishment of indentured servitude and later, enslaved labor.
