The living conditions were horrible there was no food. The major reasons the Jamestown settlers migrated to the north American continent was to find gold but john wasn't going to leave like all the others did he planted tobacco seeds.The was beautiful it was so much of it.it was plenty of live stock.The conditions of the starving time were horrible. It was bad that a man killed his pregnant wife and tried to eat her. Gold,trees and bison were some of the natural resources fought by the first settlers.The marriage ensured peace between Jamestown settlers and the Powhatan Indians.The Africans and the indentured servants. they both worked for people.
I agree

The conditions the North American colony were under were horrifying.The people were starving they had no crops to trade or sell. they had no living supply it was practically hell on Earth for the colony.The settlers were in search of land, silver, and gold and there were rumors that North American had plenty of it.
When the settlers arrived it wasn't what they expected the conditions the people were in were horrible so the settlers wanted to help. The settlers noticed that the soil was rich and John knew tobacco was addicting to the people,so John Rolfe planted his South American tobacco seeds which flourished and made beautiful crops to trade with the Natives. Pocahontas was the daughter of the chief of Powhatan Indian confederacy and John Rolfe the tobacco planter of Jamestown, Virginia. The marriage of Pocahontas and John Rolfe ensured peace between Powhatan lians and Jamestown settlers. Africans Because settlers in Jamestown after Rolfe but they were slaves but they played a shaping role in the colonies.

DeleteThe living condition was terrible they had no way of getting food so some starved to death. The real reason Jamestown Settlers moved to North America to find gold but somehow John wasn't not going to leave like everybody else he planted tobacco seeds. It was plenty of livestock. Trees,Bisons,and gold were natural resources. Africans were slaves but were shaping role in colonies.

The living conditions was found in a sad state. Three months before the new settlers arrived at Jamestown a man was killed at the state for killing his pregnant wife. It was called starving time at Jamestown.the major migrated to the north American continent was in search of a life of opportunity and prosperity.because north america is the only land of opportunity and a continent with the most valuable resources of all.the significance of land the new settlers was its fertile soil.the new setters benefited from the planting of the to baeeo crop .there was a severe drought that severely reduceel the availability of food crops and wildlife.by the end of the winter or 1609-1610,more than 400 of nearly 500 jamestown colonists had perished.and some of the natural resources found by the first settlers were lead,gews silver and gold.the tobacco as America's first cash crop was America's largest growing crop. John rolfe married pocahant as the daughter of the king of the mohawk empire.Rolfe put pocahantas picture on a portrait and sold it and sold it and she became a celebrity in all of london. Comparing the role of afriean slaves arrival in jamestown played a slgnificant role in the productivity of the work and labor they provided to the economy at Jamestown. The continent became the largest export.

ReplyDeleteThe condition of the north American Colony were horrible they were starving they had no crop to trade or sell they didnt have no supplies to live off of the settlers were in search of silver gold nd land when the settlers came it wasn't what they thought of conditions the settlers wanted help they realized the soil was rich and tobacco was addicted pocahantas was the daughter of chief of powhatan Indian confederacy john rolfe was the planter of jamestown virginia
The living conditions was very bad. The starving time was very horrible. A man was killed for killing his pregnant wife with entions of eating her. People were eating horses , leather basically anything they could eat. This was a very sad time they were starving!They had no crops to trade or to sell and they didnt have any supplies to live off of. This was the reason Jamestown Settlers migrated to North America. They went looking for food , gold and a search of a life opportunity. Unlike all the others Jhon stayed and planted Tabacco Seeds and was actually successful! Jhon then married the daugter of Cheif Powhatan. He made her famous by taking pictures on a portrait and sold it and she became a celebrity in all of London. Comparing the role of african slaves arrival in Jamestown played a significant role in the productivity of the work and labor they provided to the economy at Jamestown. The continent became the largest export!
ReplyDeleteThe living conditions was hell on earth because 500 settlers came before john rofle 60 remain.The settlers came for gold and sliver.it was call strving time because they had to feed on horse,boots,shoes and any leather they could get.Their marriage became history.Africans were the indentured servants but the both worked for people.
ReplyDeleteThe condition of the colony were horrifying because they basically nothing they needed to keep them alive no food or money. The major reason the Jamestown settlers migrated to the north American continent was to find gold and maybe other riches but john wasn't going to leave like all the others did he planted tobacco seeds. The significance of land to the new settlers were that the land had rich soil where tobacco could be planted or cropped by them planting tobacco they could have sold or traded it for other items they needed. Gold,trees and bison were some of the natural resources fought by the first settlers. The marriage between John Rolfe and Pocahantas brought peace between Jamestown settlers and the Powhatan Indians..The Africans and the indentured servants have the same role because they both had to obey orders from a higher authority.

Deletethe living conditions at the beginnings of the Jamestown colony were terrible and uncomfortable. the main reasons the Jamestown settlers migrated was because it was not a comfortable life for them. the significance of land to the new settlers was the land had rich soil that grew tobacco that they traded or sold. it was difficult without food because it left them very hungry and sick.
