The Native Americans in and around Jamestown didn’t help them or associate with the men. The fort was built in an Native American empire of 15,000 and there were 104 men in Jamestown.

Within six months there were only 34 left alive.

What made life in the Chesapeake so precarious?

Life in the 1600s was hard in Chesapeake. Colonists faced brutal summer heat and humidity, spells of hunger, heavy labor, outbreaks of conflict, and illness.
