Answer: The settlers were weakened by illness
Explanation:
Richard Frethorne was an indentured servant serving in the colony of Virginia during its earlier days. In a letter to his parent, he employed them to send for him or at least send him some provisions because conditions in the settlement were pitiful.
He mentioned how they lived in constant fear of Indians who they keep fighting with. He was worried that they were in grave danger though because the settlers were afflicted by sickness and some had already died thus weakening their number resulting in less resistance to the Indians.
The world's population today is much larger than it has been in anytime in the history of the world, and has been continuing to grow ever since the Industrial Revolution, since this raised the living standards and increased in incomes of an enormous number of people, especially in the western world. Advances in medicine have also played a major role.
Romanticism came as a reaction to enlightenment. The ideas of nationality and homeland started developing more and a pride in being a member of a country started growing. This led to numerous new revolutions since people wanted to be independent and have their own countries and countries like Austria-Hungary and the Ottoman Empire lost huge amounts of influence.
