1 and 3 I believe are correct.

Answer 2

Answer:

1 and 3 are correct.

Explanation:

The colony of Jamestown was the first permanent English settlement in North America and was founded by the London Company, who set out to establish a colony in the new world. There weren't families but explorers and colonizers, all sailing under the command of Captain Christopher Newport. Once they arrived to what is Virginia today, the colonizers eventually managed to establish a lasting settlement, and the land was distributed among them, rather than kept by the London Company. What is true is that the first African slaves arrived in 1619 in a British privateer ship sailing under a Dutch flag. About 20 slaves had been removed from a Portuguese slaver ship and were brought to Jamestown. They most likely worked in the tobacco fields, which were the colony's main crop and largely what made them profitable after years of struggle, starvation and a couple attempts to abandon the colony. Previous attempts to found settlements in the New World had failed and it took many years for Jamestown to stabilize and start making a profit.
