More laborers were needed in Jamestown due to the high mortality rate among early settlers, who faced harsh conditions, disease, and conflicts with Indigenous peoples. The cultivation of tobacco, which became the colony's primary cash crop, required significant labor to be profitable. To address labor shortages, the colony turned to indentured servitude and later, enslaved labor, to ensure a stable workforce for agricultural production. This shift was essential for the economic viability and growth of the settlement.
