Movie Review : ' Love And Hate

( Document D) The Indians had most of the forts in Jamestown then the English had. The English had very little space to farm or to do anything in there land areas that they had they also had very little supplement. The supplement just barely got around to all of the English settlers sometimes the some of the English had no food to eat so they died in Jamestown. (Document

I wonder why so many people died in Jamestown. Well i think that so many people died because of the lack of their environment. There were a lot of problems in Jamestown i think that they picked a bad place to settle. The reason why the environment was they bad nature, bad relations with the natives, and bad job and skill.

Why did so many colonists die?" In early Jamestown, from 1607 to 1610, 452 colonists died even though Jamestown was supplied with 560 colonists. This leaves only 90 colonists left after the May of 1610. On May 14, 1607, colonists set off for Jamestown Island to build a settlement there. They did not know that there were close to 15,000 Powhatan Indians in the forest. Most people who came were from the ages of 17 to 35 years old. Some were servants that needed to pay off debt while others wanted to get profit from the project and would become successful. It did not come without the loss since a near eighty percent of the population died or 452 colonists as mentioned before. The question of this mini-q is "Early Jamestown: Why did so many colonists die?" Many colonists died in early Jamestown because of their relations with the Native Americans, the environment and the settler 's lack of skills. Many colonists died in early Jamestown because of their horrible relations with the Native Americans.

In the early years of Jamestown there was lots of death. In 1607 the first permanent English colony had arrived at James river. By 1611 roughly 400 Jamestown colonists were wounded up dead. The reasoning for many colonists dieing is because of lack of skills, bad environment, then bad relationship with natives.

In Jamestown why did so many colonists die? I believe that so many colonists died from certain areas that happened in Jamestown such as the salt water intrusion, the ships that carried disease back into the town, the Indians that would go on and of with trading to fighting, and the Jamestown drought. All of these events that occurred in Jamestown were in the time frame of 1607-1610 with 500 colonists that went to Jamestown only 20% came out of Jamestown but changed.

You look around the camp that you and your fellow colonists have created in the past couple of years. Although, something is off. There are hundreds of men all around coughing and throwing up. Jamestown was infested by many diseases and illnesses that all of you brought to this place. Jamestown had begun in 1607 and had fallen apart in 1610. Jamestown's ‘mission’ was lead by Captain John Smith, and was followed by 11 colonists. Now, with the mission being lead by John Smith, ad there being over 100 colonists to help him out, why did so many of them die? So many of the colonists died due to diseases and illnesses, and this can be proven by what the colonists did inside the camp, where they had settled, and how few resources that they actually had.

The First reason Jamestown colonists died was disease.Many of the colonists Die Because They did not have a sewer System and they did not know that the ocean water was going to the spring water which the water had human waste and they drank the water which got them sick.

There were one hundred five men, woman, and children. The religion the settlers was the Anglican Church. According to (history.com) law mandated Virginians to worship the Church of England. This is another word for the Anglican Church. This church was supported by taxpayers. The settlers struggled for religious freedom. The Virginians did not tolerate non Christian religions. The reason the English came here in the first place was because of the king. King James the First of England was the King at this time. He hoped the colonists would find gold, and then send it back to England. They assumed gold was going to very easy to find. King James also wanted them to find The Northwest Passage. Also they wanted to Expand English Control, to this part of the world

The reasons that so many colonists died in Jamestown were attacks and ambushes from Native Americans, drought, and disease. Drought in the New World led to many colonists' passing in Jamestown. Document B represents that there were terrible droughts. The graph shows that the rainfall index in 1610 was -2. This was devastating to the colonists and nearly 110 people died of disease and famine that year.

In the Jamestown colony, colonists were dying because of Native American attacks, famine, disease, and their own mistakes. The colonists chose an area along a river that led to diseases such as dysentary and malaria. Settlers wasted valuable time that could have been used to hunt and fish. Food supplies dwindled until the entire colony was on the brink of starvation.

Jamestown had warm climate and rich soil which permitted large plantations to take place like tobacco. Unfortunately, it was also known that living in Virginia had high death rates. Which made it apparent that Virginia was not worth investors’ money as it became common for the society to remarry since the death rate was high, and disease was widely spread killing many people. In Jamestown Europeans depended on the Indians for agriculture like corn and other trade while in Plymouth Pilgrims did not depend on Indians for any of their agriculture. Also, the problems with the people were based off economy and religion in Plymouth had economic problems in Jamestown. In addition, Jamestown had no murders and savagery but in Plymouth Indians were murdered not treated with

My first reason on why I think was the cause of deaths of many colonists is because of rainfall. In document B, it showed a picture of how much rainfall Jamestown got throughout the years of 1560-1640. In 1607 through 1612, early Jamestown suffer the

Imagine being thrust into the center of greed, disease, and fighting. That's what it was like to be in Jamestown. In May 1607 about a 100 colonists landed in Jamestown. Many were excited to start a fresh new life but most didn’t make it past the first year. So the question is why did so many colonists? Many of them died because these reasons, people were greedy for food, disease ran rampant, and they fought among themselves and with Native Americans.

If this quote had been written by one of Smith's fellow settlers, we may regard it as substantial evidence. However, it was written by Smith, so he seems to be boasting about his selflessness and leadership ability. Furthermore, according to Egloff and Chief Crazy Horse, Smith did not even mention his attempted murder to his fellow settlers when he returned to the fort after the Indians released him. Furthermore, he did not include the incident in an account of his captivity, which he wrote immediately following his period of captivity (Vincent 1; Chief Crazy Horse 1). Thus, Smith's General History is not reliable.

Jamestown, the birthplace of America was the first permanent english settlement in North America. In April 1606, King James I established Jamestown and on May 13, 1607, colonists began to arrive at Jamestown. When establishing Jamestown as a colony, the Virginia Company was in search of economic opportunities. The citizens wanted to escape poverty and prosecution. They wanted to be able to believe in what they wanted. The first month in Jamestown was a struggle for all passengers. The moment the passengers came ashore, they immediately began on settlement. Serious problems soon emerged when about 15,000-25,000 Indians were already living in the Chesapeake Bay when the colony was founded. The Indians were part of the Powhatan Confederacy which was ruled by Powhatan, a powerful leader. At this time, the English settlers were looking for gold that no one was farming. In this situation, Captain John Smith became the colony’s leader and established a “no work, no food” policy. Smith had been instrumental in trading with the Powhatan Indians for food but their relationship was tense in all aspects. After he was injured by a burning gunpowder in 1608 and left for England, the “starving time” began. This was a period of warfare between the colonists and Indians and the depth of many English men
