When Jamestown men landed on the land near the James River they were in an Native American empire of 15,000. The Powhatan never traded with them and they did nothing to them, but sat and waited for them to die. The fort was built on the worse land in the area and the Powhatan knew this. It was swampy with bad water and mosquitoes and they knew that disease and starvation would soon kill most of the men. They were right. Within 6 months of the 107 who arrived 34 were left alive.
