History

Answer:

The Africans’ arrival would not only change the course of Virginia history but the course of what would become the United States of America (See Figure 3-1). There were both men and women in this first group of Africans. Three or four days later, a second ship arrived. One additional African woman disembarked in Virginia. (Travels and Works of Captain John Smith [1910] 1967:541 as cited in Russell [1913] 1969:22 ftn.21).

The first Africans to arrive in Jamestown were welcome additions to the labor force. They were needed for the tasks of opening the wilderness, clearing land, and building settlements around the Chesapeake Bay. The first Africans, as few as they were, fulfilled a sorely needed and relatively empty labor niche in Virginia society. They and the African immigrants that followed also served another equally important purpose. Under the head-right system, they enabled the growth of a new landowning middle class located socially between the gentleman who had been granted the Virginia Company land by the Crown and the laboring class of indentured servants and slaves who worked the colony’s expanding tobacco lands (See Figure 3-2).

Nine months after the arrival of the first Africans, the Census of March 1620 listed 892 English colonists living in Virginia, males outnumbering females, seven to one. Also present were 32 Africans, 15 men and 17 women, a more equal sex distribution that lent it to family formation.

Hope this helps!

Why did Marco Polo's travels have such big impact on later European exploration?
Nutka1998 [239]
Marco Polo made an impact to later on European travelers, by his travels and discoveries. Marco Polo was known by a man that had many travels and he survived many of them, even though they had diseases and the fatigue of the travel. In his book that he wrote called The Travels of Marco Polo focuses mainly on descriptions of spices and commercial goods and many other interesting trade items he encountered in his travels. Marco Polo had a great impact on the area of what is now China. Because of his travels through the Eastern areas, he brought some of the cultures to the East and he also took some of the East cultures back to the West. However, Marco Polo wasn't able to fully connect the West with the East, so he engaged the future European explores to interact more with the Eastern areas. Many explorers also then had the curiosity to know and discover different places like Marco Polo. Another famous explorer that also made a big impact was Christopher Columbus which who discover America, and he also brought the cultures.
