Some of the problems the settlers at the Jamestown Colony was the the location of the colony itself, established in a swamp that was the perfect breeding ground for insects carrying deadly Infectious Diseases. When the colony was first established they were more interested in searching for gold than growing food. Used to the system of labor in England, where multiple people did the same job, they were not prepared for the hard work ahead of them. Then just to make matters worse they had hostile relations with the neighboring Native American Tribes, making life miserable for the people of Jamestown. Also the problems in Jamestown was in the development there was slow settlement in North America.
