A third reason why the colonisation of a Virginia failed was because of the choice of colonists. It was a mix of people with different skills . They soon came to realise that this is not what they had signed up for.A numerous amount of merchants had come hoping that they would get rich quickly by finding precious metals. There was no cooperation between the colonists. They had no intention of doing physical work as they expected to use the Native Americans . So there was not as many people to do physical work . And for the farmers that were prepared to do physical work were not prepared to work for the upper classes but they left England to work their own land. This meant that there was not as much people to do ground work .
