Geographic/environmental problems? Jamestown Colony Beginnings (2mins)

The Jamestown Pitfalls and Problems 1606-1607  40 people died on the voyage to the New World. 1609  another ship from England lost its leaders and supplies in a shipwreck off Bermuda. Settlers died by the dozens! Drought led to shortage of local foods (The Starving Time)

High Mortality Rates The “Starving Time”: 1607 = 104 colonists Spring, 1608 = 38 survived 1609 = 300 immigrants arrived Spring, 1610 = 60 survived 1610 – 1624 = 10,000 immigrants arrived 1624 population = 1,200 Adult life expectancy: 40 years Death of children before age 5: 80%

1618: The Virginia Company introduces the head-right system to increase immigration. Many people moving to Virginia were indentured servants. Each head of household was entitled to a set number of acres of land. This rule was designed to encourage immigration. It was free land!

English Migration: 1610-1660

The Natives in the area did help the settlement after John Smith intervened. Captain John Smith
