The king didn’t send the men to Jamestown, but the London Company did and they were investors who wanted them to find gold. There was no gold there and the men placed the fort on the worse land in the area. It was in an Native American empire of 15,000, had bad water, mosquitoes that carried disease and the men didn’t prepare the land for crops. Of the 104 who arrived within 6 months there were only 34 alive. Jamestown was never meant to be a permanent colony and it was pretty much a failure at first.
