Why did the jamestown settlement almost fail?

History
1 answer:
Law Incorporation [45]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Its swampy location had a lot of disease.

Settlers were more interested in looking for gold than planting crops

They could not work together very well at first

Explanation:

Back in 1609-10, more than eighty percent of the people who were in Jamestown died from either disease or starvation. The survivors abandoned the area, although they ended up going back after they found, in the James River, a convoy with supplies. Jamestown was swampy and isolated. Mosquitoes were a plague. It was complicated to get in and out and had little space, which helped a lot for the diseases to spread out.

Besides all that, it seems that the colony took too long to learn how to work together and settlers hunted for gold rather than plant crops.

In many ways, it is very surprising that Jamestown did not fail.

How were we actually created in the world and who was the first person on earth?
rjkz [21]
It all began like 5 million years ago, from just one cell. This cell then merged with other communities to a multicellular being, and the same evolution continued till the formation of the apes. Then Natural selection (Adaption of an organism in his environment to survive) continued this evolution over million years, till the apparition of the Homo Sapiens, or as known today, the Humans.
Some Scientifics say that the first known human Ancestor is Lucy, is 3.2 million years old fossil found in Ethiopia in 1974.

Hope this Helps! :)

What happened when John White arranged for a peace conference with the area’s American Indians? A misunderstanding led to confli
Natalija [7]

<u>The answer is that a peace treaty was signed, but the settlers did not follow it.</u>

The British Government came to the conclusion that settlers and Indians should remain separate. On October 7, 1763, the Crown drafted the Royal Decree of 1763, through which he wanted to reorganize the North American territories  

The officers drew a line of separation between the British colonies and the lands of the natives west of the Appalachian Mountains, creating an immense Indian Reservation that ranged from the Appalachians to the Mississippi River and from Florida to Newfoundland. By prohibiting settlers from entering Indian lands, the British government hoped to avoid new events such as the Pontiac Rebellion.  

The effects of the Pontiac war were noted for a long time. Because the Decree recognized some indigenous rights over the lands they occupied, it became known as the Indian Bill of Rights.

<em>However, the Royal Decree of 1763 did not prevent the British from attempting to expand westward, so the Indians were forced to form new resistance movements. </em>The first began in 1767 after a meeting organized by the Shawnee.
