Question

Question? What product changed the fortunes of British settlers in Jamestown?

Answer 1

Answer:

Tobacco

Explanation:

The Jamestown colony was a failure during its first year. Colonists were not skilled farmers, could not engage in trade with the native tribes, and the whole area was being struck by severe drought.

Notwithstanding, the fortune of the colony changed when the colonists began to cultivate Tobacco. Tobacco soon became a profitable cash crop with high demand in England. This brought wealth to some of the colonists, and attracted even more settlers, many of who were indentured servants.
