How did tobacoo farming change settlement at jasmestown

Answer 1

Hello,

As you may have known the plantation is the mid settlements were dying because of the lack of labor. Due to this issue they brought in slaves to work for them. The thing was they were getting treated unfairly. This led to many slaves trying to escape. Some of them succeeded while the others were punished or killed, but slavery wasn't the only thing that helped Platations such as the plantations in jamestown. James town was one of the many which succeeded. That meaning that there success was more different than others. They found the cash crop of Virginia (Tobacco). After jamestown started to grow tobacco it got very well known around Virginia and it was a common crop that was grown. As the settelments grew so did the cash crop its self.

Answer 2

Tobacco farming changed settlement in Jamestown, this is due largely to the fact that the American soil in the area was perfect conditions for farming tobacco, and at the time tobacco was an incredibly popular trade. This not only brought wealth and prosperity to Jamestown in the form of trade with Britain, Africa, and the Middle East, but it also brought along more settlers who saw how well the village was doing and wanted to profit. It could even be argued that without tobacco, America might not have been viewed as worthy of becoming a place of immigration.
