People from England traveled far distances to live in the small colony of Jamestown. 524 people chose to go to the unknown land throughout a three year time period and only 17% of the people survived. The majority of the people who went died. Drinking bad water caused many of these innocent colonists to die.

Jamestown was not the most successful settlement in the beginning years of 1607-1612. The first settlers unfortunately failed miserably in creating a successful permanent settlement right from the start. The early colonists that arrived at Jamestown around 1607 did not survive mainly because of exposure to disease, conflict with the natives, and lack of clean/any water.

The colony required a steady flow of profit and income to fuel its growing and turn it into the colony the people needed to survive. The planting of tobacco was very important as a source of income, but it required hard labor (nps.gov). In order to achieve such labor, without the spending of much money, indentured servants and slaves were the solution. Jamestown was founded on…

Strachey later published another work known as For the Colony in Virginea Britannia. Lawes Divine, Morall and Martiall, Etc. In this work he included the orders from the governor of Jamestown, which acted as a code of conduct and was enforced to that of laws in the colony for all parts of life for the colonists. The code was in part based off of how the king ruled back in England over religion and authority: “Whereas his Majesty like himselfe a most zealous Prince hath in his owne Realmes a…
