Three years after the founding of Jamestown (1610) and the transport of 700 English men and women to the Chesapeake Bay area, Thomas Gates arrives with supplies and his new appointment as governor of the settlement. Upon his arrival he writes the following statement: “Out of the 700 men and women, I was greeted by 60 survivors so lean that they looked like [skeletons], crying out ‘We are starved, we are starved’ Many resorted to eating turtles, poisonous snakes, rats, dogs or even their own horses. Most had died.” What would these facts mean to the future of an English settlement in the New World?

Hardships Faced By The Settlers • The site they chose to live on was marshy and lacked safe drinking water. • The settlers lacked many skills necessary to provide for themselves. • Many settlers died of starvation and disease.

Many of the settlers was only interested in looking for gold • Others demanded the privilege left behind in England – excluding manual labor

Changes That Ensured Survival • The arrival of two supply ships • The forced work program and strong leadership of Captain John Smith “No Work – No Food” • The emphasis on self-sustaining agriculture

Trade with the Powhatan tribe • The Powhatans traded food, furs and leather with the English. The English traded tools, pots, guns and other goods with the Powhatans.
