Where did the colonists first settle in America?
The first colony was the "lost colony" of Roanoke, an island off the coast of South Carolina. This colony disappeared and historians still don't know what happened. The next colony was Jamestown. Jamestown was begun in 1607 by a group of investors who sent 104 men to look for gold. They landed in an area that was swampy, with bad water, and had over 8,000 Native Americans living in the area. Within six months only 34 men were still alive in Jamestown. The colony was saved by the introduction of tobacco. In 1620 the Pilgrims landed in Mass after being blown off course and founded Plymouth colony. There were 60 men, women, and children. Three young sisters were sent alone by their father because he was going through a divorce with their mother. The girls didn't not live very long after arrival.
Which was an impact of the arrival of women at Jamestown?
They were to make sure that the men did what they were supposed to. After many colonies had failed because the men didn't do what they were supposed to. Then people over in Europe realized that men are more polite and will do what they have to do in order to survive. That was the main job of women when Europeans began to travel into the new world.
What did the Jamestown colonists call the winter of 1609-1610?
The Starving Time at Jamestown in the English Colony of Virginia was a period of forced starvation initiated by the Powhatan Confederacy to remove the English from Virginia. The campaign killed all but 60 of 601 colonists during the winter of 1609-1610. The colonists, the first group of whom had originally arrived at Jamestown on May 14, 1607, had never planned to grow all of their own food. Instead, their plans depended upon trade with the local American Indian Powhatan Confederacy to supply them with food between the arrival of periodic supply ships from England. However, the efforts by anti-English, leaders amongst the Powhatan Confederacy succeeded in isolating the tenuous English colony. Additionally, lack of access to water and a relatively dry rain season crippled the agricultural production of the colonists. After Captain John Smith's return to England in October 1609, the Powhatan placed the colony completely under siege and attempted to end the English settlement through starvation. A fleet from England, damaged by a hurricane, arrived months behind schedule with new colonists, but without expected food supplies. On June 7, 1610 the survivors boarded ships, abandoned the colony site, and sailed towards the Chesapeake Bay. However, another supply convoy with new supplies and headed by a newly-appointed governor, Thomas West, Baron De La Warr, intercepted the colonists on the lower James River and returned them to Jamestown. Within a few years, the commercialization of tobacco by John Rolfe secured the settlement's long-term economic prosperity.
