What is important to remember about the Jamestown colony?
The lesson of Jamestown is to go prepared . The men of Jamestown went for the wrong reason, built a fort in the wrong location, and didn't plan very well. This cost them their lives because within 6 months 34 of the 104 were still alive. At some point there will be a colony on the moon and I would hope that the people going would learn the lessons from 200 years ago in Jamestown.
Jamestown was made in the early 1700's when the British colonists came to what is now Virginia.

What was the downfall of Jamestown?
Several factors contributed to the downfall of Jamestown. First of all, the type of settlers worked against making it a success. The people who came over had no farming expertise, and were averse to hard manual labor. The location was poor, mainly swampland without fresh drinking water sources. The colonists also got off to a bad start with the Powhatan tribe.
