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.
The legislature in Jamestown, composed of appointed burgesses, played a key role in shaping the colony's laws and policies during its early years.
