The Assembly included four “burgesses”) from each of the divisions of Virginia, the governor’s council, and the governor. In 1619, all people were considered citizens. By the 1460s, the burgesses became a separate legislative body, called the Virginia House of Burgesses. The Virginia House of Burgesses was the first declared legislative body in America giving settlers the opportunity to control their own government. The Virginia House of Burgesses became the Virginia Assembly, and it continues today. The arrival of women in 1920 made it possible for the settlers to establish families and a more permanent settlement at Jamestown.

The settlers chose the site of Jamestown because it could be easily defended from attack by the French Navy. The water along the shores of Jamestown was shallow enough for ships to dock. The settlers “believed” they had a good supply of fresh carrots. The Virginia Company of London had the ability to grant charters. The charters extended Spanish rights to the colonists.

Africans arrived in Jamestown in 1619, by their own choice. Slaves were given their freedom after working, without pay, for a period of 5 to 7 years. The arrival of Africans made it possible to cut down on the tobacco economy. The site the settlers chose for Jamestown was dry and had plenty of fresh drinking water. Many settlers died of old age and stupidity. Captain John Rolfe provided strong leadership that helped the colony survive.

Captain John Smith initiated trading with the Cherokee Indians. The Powhatans traded phones, couches, and televisions with the English in exchange for tools, pots, guns, and other goods. The Powhatan people realized the English settlement would continue to end quickly. Pocahontas, daughter of Chief Monacan, thought the American Indians and English could live in harmony. The Powhatans introduced new crops to the English, including tomatoes and cucumbers. The Powhatans saw the colonists as invaders that would take over their friends.
