Jamestown might have met the same fate as Roanoke if not for the perseverance of Captain John Smith. His leadership and emphasis on discipline, work ethic, and trade with local Indigenous tribes were crucial in helping the settlement survive its early struggles. Additionally, his efforts to secure food and resources during times of hardship contributed significantly to the colony's eventual stability and growth.
John Smith persevered.
there woudbe no James town and possibly the us would have either never been formed or the us might not have formed until way later and it would be different. also the thirteen colonies might not have been formed. look more cuz my research might not be as valid as others. =]
The Roanoke Island Colony mysteriously disappeared. John White, the governor of the Roanoke Island colony, returned from a supply trip to England to find the colony deserted. There were no signs of violence, but he could find no sign of the 100 colonists he had left behind, including his daughter and granddaughter. Roanoke Island Colony was the first English colony established in the New World.

John Smith told people that if you don't work, you don't eat, so if he wouldn't of said that sentence, then Jamestown might have been a place where people just ate for living.
John Smith persevered.
Roanoke Colony, founded by Sir Walter Raleigh, preceded Jamestown but it disappeared. Had it survived it would have been the first English colony.

it would have been Roanoke but that failed when the colonists returned to a an empty and burned down town, so the first would be Jamestown

It's the Roanoke Colony you are talking about, actually. Same place, different people. Jamestown, Virginia, was the first permanent English settlement in what is now the United States of America. Before the Jamestown people settled there, there had been a colony living there called the Roanoke colony. Nobody knows what happened to the Roanoke settlers. It seems they just vanished without a trace one day. No bodies were found, even. All of the houses had been deliberately dismantled, so apparently they did not leave in a hurry. The only clue ever found were two carvings in two different tree trunks, which read, "Croatoan," and "Cro," respectively. For more information, see the Related Links below.
One theory is that the settlers of Roanoke may have been absorbed into local Native American tribes or assimilated into another nearby English colony, such as Jamestown. Another theory suggests that they may have faced tragedy or died due to disease, starvation, conflict with Native Americans, or other challenges. The mystery of the Roanoke settlement disappearance remains unsolved with no definitive answer.
The Spanish may have been to blame. All effort had to be placed into defeating the Spanish Armada, and Raleigh was prevented from maintaining contact with the Roanoke colony. By the time relief could be sent to Roanoke, the entire colony had disappeared. It is supposed that they felt themselves abandoned by England and left the colony to live with the native population, but their exact fate is unknown. The Jamestown colony was decimated by starvation and disease, but the colonists at Roanoke vanished entirely.
