the "starving time"
Terrible hardship and suffering.
The Jamestown colonists focused on mining for gold at the beginning of the colony’s time. They neglected farming, and when they did farm, they were not very successful. They ran out food the first winter at Jamestown, and struggled for a few years after that.
The years 1580 to 1640 are significant as they encompass the time of early English colonization in North America, including the establishment of Jamestown in 1607. This period experienced a series of climatic changes, including a notable drought that affected agricultural productivity and the survival of the settlement. Jamestown suffered its longest unbroken period of drought during the early 1620s, which severely impacted the colonists' food supply and contributed to high mortality rates. Understanding this context helps to illuminate the challenges faced by early settlers in Virginia.

The Jamestown settlement survived its first two years largely due to the leadership of Captain John Smith, who implemented strict discipline and trade with local Indigenous tribes. Additionally, the Powhatan Confederacy, led by Chief Powhatan, provided crucial assistance through trade and food supplies, particularly during periods of famine. The arrival of supplies and reinforcements from England also played a vital role in the settlement's survival during its challenging early years.
