Overcame hardships Colony passed to capable leadership John Smith and “If You Don’t Work, You Don’t Eat” Thomas Dale’s military leadership Lord De La Warr’s steady hand John Rolfe and tobacco Blended a new strain of tobacco Found the product to make money

Recruiting Settlers Headright System 50 acres of land given to all free settlers 50 acres given for each servant brought to Virginia Indentured Servants Poor sold labor for passage to Virginia Work for 4 to 7 years for the owner of the indenture Enabled thousands to settle in the colony

Self-Government House of Burgesses formed in 1619 Provided self-government for Virginia Proposed and passed laws Determined salary of the governor “Popularly” elected Provided a model for future colonies
