Jamestown Colony Virginia 1607

Jamestown, Virginia In 1607, the first successful permanent British settlement was established along the James River in the colony of Virginia. The settlement was named Jamestown, after King James I. The settlers faced numerous difficulties while establishing Jamestown- Settlers lacked hunting and farming skills; wasted time searching for gold instead of preparing for winter. Harsh climate (Hot & humid summers, Bitter cold winters) Built on swampland filled with malaria diseased infested mosquitoes; lack of fresh drinking water. Attacks from local Native Americans (Powhatan tribe)

John Smith A soldier who became the leader of Jamestown Colony

John Smith D espite the severe hardships, Jamestown survived and was successful due to the leadership of John Smith, Jamestown's first leader. Smith implemented a strict "Work or Starve" rule. Smith made friends and trading partners with the local Powhatan Native Americans. He learned their language, their hunting, fishing, and farming techniques. Most importantly, Smith established a trade relationship with the Powhatans. The respect and friendship John Smith established with the Powhatans, saved the Jamestown settlers from starvation and certain death. That is why John Smith is known as the “ Savior of Jamestown ”.

Winter of , "The Starving Time" By the winter of 1609 more than 500 settlers lived at Jamestown, Virginia. Everyone thought the colony had seen the worst of its troubles – wrong again! The winter of was known as “The Starving Time” and considered one of the worst times in American history. The “Starving Time” was a Native American plan to starve and terrorize the Jamestown colonist. The natives wouldn’t trade with them. They also armed themselves with weapons and wouldn’t let the settlers go in and out of the fort to hunt, fish, or care for their livestock. Soon there was nothing for anyone to eat. The settlers were so desperate to eat; they ate dogs, cats, horses, insects, and anything else they could find within the fort. One man even killed his wife to eat her. He was later executed for his crime. The cold, harsh winter climate of Jamestown made keeping warm almost impossible. Families were burning their houses and buildings to keep warm. By early spring 1610, the few remaining survivors were emaciated and sick. Of the 500 people who in Jamestown before the winter of 1609, only 60 were still alive.

First African slaves are brought to Jamestown

Along with John Smith's leadership, the cultivation of tobacco was the key cash crop that assisted in the success of Jamestown's survival. Growing tobacco was extremely hard work. In the spring of 1619, the first African-American slaves arrived in Jamestown, Virginia to work the tobacco fields. Slave labor soon became widespread in Jamestown and throughout Virginia. Huge profits were made exporting tobacco back home to England. Tobacco made people rich and the colony of Jamestown, Virginia prosperous. The success of Jamestown encouraged England to build more colonies in the New World.
