Did you ever wonder why the Jamestown colonist died so fast? Did you ever consider that it was because of the lack of surgeons and more. Or how bad they communicated with the Native Americans. Or how they contaminated their only fresh water supply? One of the main reasons why the colonist died was because of the lack of jobs. Among the original settlers in May 1607, only one of them were surgeons. Also, They had zero apothecaries or druggists as they were called. This affected the colonist…

Early Jamestown Imagine landing into a new place, a new world, a place filled with opportunities. Next thing you know, by the end of December most of your friends and family have died. Living in early Jamestown sure wasn't easy. In 1607 colonists from England came to make the first permanent settlement in the New World. Out of the 110 colonists that came only 40 were alive by the end of December. A resupply ship came in January but two- thirds of the settlement died in the winter of…

Of course, both were very different in many ways, from where they landed to who came. What was truly was different, but similar at the same time, was the their encounters in the ‘new world’. The Jamestown colony came over from England to take the riches here. The British people heard…

Rough draft Jamestown was the first step to America and our freedom, but it wasn't easy. In 1607- 6110 colonist set sail for the new land they were soon to call Jamestown. Some terms that are important are colonists, Jamestown,Chesapeake bay, and the Powhatan Indians. In early Jamestown so many colonists died because of the bad environment, their relationships with indians, and jobs and types of settlers they brought.

During the colonial era England strove to cash in on the riches being found and exported from the "new world." In an effort to do this, the Jamestowne and Plymouth colonies would be formed. Though these colonies were similar in some ways they were largely different. Economically, Jamestowne was the most profitable of the two colonies even though Jamestowne did not always return a profit to England.

Great response. I agree that Jamestown did allowed more chances for individual freedom than the Massachusetts Bay colony, and I believed that the freedom that you are referring to was not like the freedom that we have today in the US.

Let's say that you actually did earn your freedom after years of harsh working conditions or you caught a…

and founded Plymouth. These colonies were used to religious reasons over economic ones. The Puritans were way more stable than the settlers in Jamestown. They were very much able to grow food while the noblemen struggled with starvation in Jamestown due to awful diseases (Schweikart and Allen 2004). Massachusetts was highly successful when compared to Jamestown. Even though they were both similar in some ways, they served different economic, social, and political ideas. Through their history, it…
