6 9. The English arrived too late to plant crops in Jamestown.
Only 38 settlers remained alive after the first year. Tobacco was a crop that grew well in Jamestown Indentured servants, people who agreed to work for a period time in return for passage to the New World, were Africans introduced by the Dutch.

The French settled in Easter North America, Caribbean Islands, South America, and Canada The French exported fish, sugar, and furs The French and Spanish posed a threat to British control of Guale.
