What Makes Jamestown Successful

The successful creation of Jamestown was the start of the British expansion on the New World. Jamestown was able to be successful due to the agreement made with the local Indian tribes. The Indians would provide food in exchange for weapons which ultimately sustained longer life spans for both groups. The tribes helped the settlers become successful in agriculture. Thus, English settlers were able to perfect the cultivation of tobacco. Tobacco was an enormous hit which expanded the success for Jamestown. In no time, Virginia was shipping over a million pounds to Britain. The promise of new money made Jamestown a more popular place to live, therefore, more settlers migrated from Britain. Successful cultivation of tobacco created a need for workers.
