It was built the year of 1607. Full date: May 14, 1607

The Jamestown colony was settled by colonists who wanted to come to the New World for the purpose of making money, and whose trips were made possible by investors. The colony was sponsored by the Virginia Company. The investors of the company expected quick profits from the colony, and were not happy about the early failures of the colonists.

"Christianity!!!!! John Smith was a devote christian and they were interested in spreading Christianity to the Indians. They were not seeking religious freedom though like the Pilgrims and Puritans."

I can't even believe that answer.... of course it was "Christianity!" Christianity was everywhere in the western world at that time. What type though was the real question I'm sure.

Those settlers of the Jamestown settlement were from the church of England because of King Phillip, Jamestown's founder.

The Virginia Legislature is still known as the General Assembly. It is the oldest continuous English speaking law-making body in the world.

John Rolfe improved ways of preserving the pungent weed, but I am unsure of who first cultivated the tobacco in Virginia.

Many people were involved in the saving of Jamestown. John Smith and Lord De la Ware both made contributions by making the colonists stop looking for gold and start planting crops. They also made the rich tend the fields like the common man. They negotiated with the Indians and traded with them for supplies they needed like food. John Rolfe also introduced tobacco to the land as a cash crop and the profit, made by the tobacco, was enough to keep the funding for the colony coming,

Fish, game, corn, beans, squash, pumpkin, berries and nuts.

Jamestown, VA began in 1607 as the first permanent English colony in the New World

The settlers in Jamestown were too busy looking for gold, but there was no gold. so there was famine since no one was gathering or growning food. there was also a lot of mosquitoes so diseases from mosqutioes spread.

Tobacco

The men of Jamestown were sent by investors to make them a profit and not claim land or settle. It was by accident that it was a success. The 104 men who arrived died of diseases and starvation. Within 6 months only 34 men were alive. If it hadn't been for the introduction of tobacco by Rolfe the colony may have not succeeded at all. Tobacco saved Jamestown.

Jamestown was especially well-known for growing tobacco.
