They traded them furs and the Dutch were smart enough not to anger the powerful Iroquois, however the Dutch did have fights with smaller tribes over land and trade rivalries.…

Their purpose was to establish a refreshment station where ships could break the long voyage between the Netherlands and the company’s main settlement at Batavia in Java.…
In this essay I will be talking about the similarities, what Jamestown and plymouth have in common and the differences between Jamestown and Plymouth. Jamestown was a small town in virginia and was one of the first permanent English settlement in the Americas. Plymouth was first settled in the 1620’s by a group of 100 puritan separatist pilgrims. In 1619, the first representative legislative assembly in the New World met at the Jamestown church. It was here that our American heritage of representative government was born. Since New England was outside the jurisdiction of Virginia's government, the Pilgrims established a self-governing agreement of their own, the "Mayflower Compact."Traveling aboard the Susan Constant, Godspeed and Discovery,…

The early 17th century Jamestown witnessed one of the worst winters during 1609. There was scarcity of food and colony settlers were living off carcasses of dogs, cats and horses, time which would be later called the “Starving time”. This colony was founded in 1607 by 104 settlers of which only 38 survived the first nine months, with most succumbing to starvation and disease caused probably by poisoned water. Additionally, this time also saw one of the worst droughts , and since the colonists were not accustomed to agricultural labor, most perished and the survivors were entirely dependent on the trade with Native Americans. Being transported in such ear of such hardship, basic survival skills would be of most imperative. Also business skills would of importance to improve trade and commerce with the indigenous natives for initial survival. Without either of these skillsets it would near impossible to survive let alone thrive in such harsh conditions, especially if coming from an aristocratic background like most of the early settlers. Despite the hardship Jamestown is one of the first successful colonies probably because of Captain John Smith who established trade with the natives and later by a settler John Rolfe who found the land suitable for tobacco and started tobacco farming. In this case, a…

Jamestown and the Massachusetts Bay Colony had many similarities and differences. Many of these differences were due to their physical location and climatic conditions.

Death equals harm and not a lot of forgiveness. From 1607-1611, a lot of brave colonists die at Jamestown, mostly because of what they did.

Colonists died in early Jamestown because of three main problems. These problems were having bad water, relations between the Indians and the Colonists, and having the wrong occupations.…

Again some men were left behind on Roanoke Island. Colonists continued to experience hardship and eventually the island was deserted, but the fate of the last group of colonists is…
