The answer is the second option, that is -It was inland near a swampy area of a river
Jamestown's was located inland near a swampy area of river that contained mosquitoes that carried malaria. This disease killed many settlers. Not only this ,but the water they drank from the river was also contaminated with germs. These factors caused a lot of hardships to its settlers.
Because of the flight of the middle class white families
The economic value of having colonies in the first place was for 3 main reasons
1) attain cheap labour from the native peoples
2) acquire cheap raw materials to bring to the homeland (Europe)
3) open up new markets to trade with
the first two were vital in Britains industrial revolution. Without cheap raw materials, and cheap labourers, the factories and refineries in Britain would have costed far more to maintain and keep supplied. This, in turn, would have slowed down production considerably. There is no doubt in my mind that the industrial revolution would still have taken place in Britain with or without the colonies, but WITH the colonies the process was sped up considerably.
Overall, cheap labour and raw materials attained through Britains colonial interests sped up the industrialisation of the UK.

Explanation:
Turning points are of great significance in periodization as they depict the beginning and end of remarkable events in history. A classical example of a turning point is evident in the the American revolution and the conquer of Britain by America in the war of 1812, and the consequent signing of the Treaty of Ghent. Also, the conquer of Babylon by Medo Persia was a turning point in history. Again, the end of colonialism in Africa was a turning point in history. Another classical example of turning point in history is the action of James Meredith in 1962, that changed the story of the African American, and led to an end to segregation in America.
