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.
