When English settlers came to Jamestown, the living conditions were very poor. By the time 1609 had come around, they had faced a harsh winter called "the starving time".

Because the winter was so harsh, people were getting sick and dying off at a very fast rate. Only about 1/3 of the settlers survived that winter, and it was rumored that the starving time was so bad that the settlers turned to eating some of the animals, such as the dogs to stay alive.

Because the people were eventually reinforced with supplies and more settlers, the colony of Jamestown was able to persevere and keep going considering they lost a significant amount of their original settlers. The tobacco crop and more settlers coming on ships in the next few years is what was able to keep Jamestown thriving.

This helped make it the first permanent settlement in North America, unlike the Lost Colony of Roanoke, Virginia, where all the settlers had vanished in the late 1500s.

Answer:

C). The charter for Jamestown

Explanation:

The correct document to fill the red box would be 'The charter for Jamestown' as it was issued in the year 1606 which preceded the 'Mayflower Compact' in 1620 which passed the idea of just and equal rules for self-governance. 'The First Virginia Charter' is characterized as the document issued by King James I in 1606. The document allocated the colonists with land rights with the key aim to disseminate Christianity. The first settlers were instructed for composing a ruling council and appoint members for the executive group. Thus, <u>option C</u> is the correct answer as the other documents were released after the 'Mayflower compact.'

FrozenT [24]

Answer:

The technological and industrial history of the United States describes the United States' emergence as one of the most technologically advanced nations in the world. The availability of land and literate labor, the absence of a landed aristocracy, the prestige of entrepreneurship, the diversity of climate and large easily accessed upscale and literate markets all contributed to America's rapid industrialization. The availability of capital, development by the free market of navigable rivers and coastal waterways, as well as the abundance of natural resources facilitated the cheap extraction of energy all contributed to America's rapid industrialization. Fast transport by the very large railroad built in the mid-19th century, and the Interstate Highway System built in the late 20th century, enlarged the markets and reduced shipping and production costs. The legal system facilitated business operations and guaranteed contracts. Cut off from Europe by the embargo and the British blockade in the War of 1812 (1807–15), entrepreneurs opened factories in the Northeast that set the stage for rapid industrialization modeled on British innovations.
