The main crop in Jamestown in 1607 was tobacco. It was grown by English settlers and sold to the Native Americans and to people back in England. It was easy to grow and brought in a lot of money.

Tobacco saved it. John Rolf introduced tobacco to the colony and because of it tobacco was grown everywhere it could be planted and was used as money.
