Jamestown

Jamestown had many successes over the years from when they were first established as a colony. They were able to successfully grow tobacco. Tobacco gave the colonists what they came looking for, which was economic gain. Virginia became a huge profit for England because of the tobacco that was grown. Virginia took a big step forward in the betterment of their colony but many other factors that was involved with the tobacco trade caused Virginia its entitlement as a thriving settlement. By 1630, Virginia was not a thriving settlement for its people of for its freedom and democracy in America because of all the baggage that came with their quest to be a successful colony.
