Question

The survival of the Pilgrims would have been impossible without John Rolfe showing them how to farm tobacco

Answer 1

The correct answer is that this is not a true statement.

It was not true that the survival of the Pilgrims would have been impossible without John Rolfe showing them how to farm tobacco.

We are talking about different things. The Pilgrims established in the area of Massachusetts when they arrived at Cape Cod in 1620. They have nothing to do with John Rolfe, in the colony of Jamestown, Virginia, that was founded in 1607.

Answer 2

This is actually False

John Rolfe was an English colonist who is widely known as the first successful cultivator of Tobacco as an export item from the colony of Virginia.


However, he did not have any correspondence or interaction with the Pilgrims who were hundreds of miles away in Massachusetts.

However, another person, a Native America did help the Pilgrims by teaching them how to cultivate the local land.
