you must write at least one good paragraph (4-5 sentences), being sure to answer all questions posed.
In Alan Taylor’s American Colonies, the author states: “The Virginia Company naively instructed the colonial leaders never to allow the Indians to see any English ide, lest the natives learn that the colonists were ‘but common men’ rather than immortals. This instruction quickly proved impossible to follow, as the colonists died in droves from disease and hunger. Of the initial 104, only 38 were alive nine months later. Despite shipping hundreds of reinforcements annually, the Virginia Company barely kept ahead of the continuing deaths at Jamestown. In December 1609 there were 220 colonists; after an especially deadly winter, only 60 remained alive by the next spring.”
Bearing this in mind, why do you believe that colonists kept coming to Virginia? Be specific.
