After the Roanoke colonies failed, Sir Walter Raleigh lost a lot of money. So, joint-stock companies were created so that people could share the cost and profit of creating a new colony. The Virginia Company of London invested in building a new colony in Virginia that would later be called Jamestown.

In 1607 Jamestown is finally settled. Located on the “James River” it was protected by land on three sides and the river would provide easy transport.

Life in Jamestown was harsh, and by 1609 many of the colonists had died of disease while others now faced what was known as the “starving time” brought on by tension between the settlers and the Native Americans and lack of skilled farmers and hunters.

John Smith forced the colonists to farm and build. He also helped re-establish trade with the Native Americans. When Smith had to return to England the colony started to fail again and the colonists actually abandoned the colony. As they sailed away, the met a ship loaded with supplies and new colonists, and Lord De La Warr made them turn around and replaced John Smith as the leader of the colony.

Peace with the Native Americans continued as farmer John Rolfe married Pocahontas. It became clear that Jamestown needed a source of profit and it became tobacco. The tobacco trade grew so large that the skilled farmers of Jamestown took on new colonists as apprentices to learn the trade. They also took on indentured servants who worked for the colonists in return for paid passage to the colony. The growing tobacco plantations caused more tension with the Native Americans…why?

In 1619 the first Africans were brought to Jamestown from the West Indies. Although they were initially treated as indentured servants, they later became slaves.

In the same year, women were sent from London as well…why?

The cultures of JamestownThe cultures of Jamestown

As you view the historical recordings of the people of Jamestown, what differences and similarities do you notice between the cultures of the Indians, Europeans, and Africans? What impact did these differences have on the people and the success of the settlement?http://www.historyisfun.org/visitus/documents/comparingculturesimages.pdf

As Jamestown grew, they demanded more freedom from their founders at the Virginia Company.

In 1619 they were allowed to elect their own leaders known as burgesses.

The group, known as the House of Burgesses met for the first time and became a model of government for future English colonies.
