Why did John Smith find the colony Virginia?
John Smith did not "find" Jamestown. The colony was funded and established by the Virginia Company, a private group of investors, by sending 106 men to VA. When Smith arrived in Jamestown in late 1608 he was the second governor of the colony. He found 34 of the 106 men alive so he began to set rules for the colony. The colony had spent time looking for gold instead of planting crops so he began to ration the food and got the Native Americans in the area to give them food. While there two more convoys arrived in Jamestown so the population numbered about 200. Due to a accident with gun powder Smith had to return to England for medical treatment in 1609. That winter the death toll was also high with typhoid, dysentery, and salt poisoning because of the contaminated water.
What was virginia's main religion?
To early Virginians, material wealth was more interesting than freedom or salvation or politics, period. The first permanent settlers to come to Tidewater Virginia were motivated by wordly desires, more than the chance to proselytize the "heathen" or establish a religious refuge.
The initial Virginia colonists were not anti-religious; they considered religion to be a fundamental part of both life and government. They assumed the Anglican church would be the "established" church, supported by taxes that were imposed by governmental authority. From 1607 until the American Revolution, the Anglican church determined an official form of worship in Virginia, and Anglican leaders resolved theological disputes. Government and religious leadership were combined at the top. The King of England was the head of the Anglican Church, and King James (for whom Jamestown was named) had imposed a new translation of the Bible.
What are three things that caused Virginia cities grow?
Founded in 1607 and now recognized as the first successful (even permanent) English colony in the Americas, the Jamestown (Virginia) Colony grew and prospered for a variety of reasons. The industry of the settlers (especially when necessity and leadership prodded them), several strong leaders, and the generosity of supportive (if also suspicious) Natives were two such reasons. The well-timed refreshment and resources provided by a second landing of settlers with a renewed charter (in 1610) followed by the successful cultivation of tobacco (in 1613) were still others.
