Answer:

C.) the land in Jamestown was ideal for farming many kinds of crops

Explanation:

Jamestown or Jamestown Fort, was the first permanent English settlement in the present territory of the United States. It was founded in 1607 on the banks of the James River on a peninsula (now Jamestown Island), in the current county of James City, Virginia.

The ships Susan Constant, Godspeed and Discovery with 104 men and boys, had departed on December 16, 1606 from the Blackwall docks on the River Thames, stopped in the Canary Islands for water, arrived in Martinique on March 23. Later they arrived at the South end of the bay of Chesapeake in April of 1607.

They did not stay there long. When they made a reconnaissance of the coast, the natives introduced themselves and pursued them until they returned to the ships. But the cartographer Richard Hakluyt had given them instructions on where to settle their colony, and on May 14 they had chosen a site, almost 100 km inland, along the newly baptized James River, where they built the Jamestown Fort in less than one month. Its location on a small peninsula and its triangular shape protected the settlers from the threat of the Spanish ships and attacks and the Indians of Powhatan. On May 26 of the same year, the Indians who inhabited the areas outside the island, the Paspahegh attacked the settlers, killing one person and wounding eleven others.

In the winter of 1608 there was a fire in the food cellar; On the other hand, a chapel and a warehouse were built. The following winter, a famine killed 200 people surviving only 60 settlers. Until 1610, 80% of the settlers in Jamestown died, causing cases of cannibalism among members of the English colony, as in the case of a 14-year-old girl analyzed in the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History.

In 1622, in the well-known indigenous massacre of 1622, the settlers were attacked by the Powhatan Indians, dying about 400 in the battle. Later the Jamestown fort was abandoned to establish the town.

In 1994 a group of archaeologists discovered the site where the Jamestown fort was located. For years it was thought that the river had taken the fort.

kifflom [539]

Answer: Territories like Wyoming wanted more white settlers, so they figured they could bring more white women out by allowing them to vote. “Long story short, if they could get white women out here, white men would be more likely to settle down,” Scharff said. She added that these laws were exclusively aimed at white women.
