During Jamestown's first year of being a settlement, only 60 of the original settlers survived. John Smith then took matters into his own hands when he saw the numbers dwindling and brought them back up with the discovery of the cash crop: tobacco. With tobacco, more and more settlers arrived with the desire of growing tobacco crops and owning land beyond belief.
Jamestown settlement survived the first to years by the help of Captain John Smith.
When the first enslaved Africans arrived in Jamestown in 1619, it is estimated that about 20 individuals were brought on a Dutch ship. However, there is limited historical data on the exact number of enslaved individuals transported to Jamestown and how many survived the journey, as records from that time are often incomplete. The passage was perilous, and many enslaved people did not survive the harsh conditions of the Middle Passage. Overall, the context of slavery in early America involves significant loss of life and suffering during transport.
