Answer 2

• It was located on a peninsula for strategic reasons
• More than half of the settlers perished from disease or Native American attacks
• It was the first permanent English colony

Step-by-step explanation:

On May 14, 1607, a gathering of approximately 100 individuals from a joint endeavor called the Virginia Company established the main perpetual English settlement in North America on the banks of the James River. Starvation, malady, and struggle with nearby Native American clans in the initial two years conveyed Jamestown to the verge of failure before the landing of another gathering of pilgrims and supplies in 1610.

Tobacco turned into Virginia's first gainful fare, and a time of harmony pursued the marriage of settler John Rolfe to Pocahontas, the little girl of an Algonquian boss. Amid the 1620s, Jamestown extended from the territory around the first James Fort into a New Town worked toward the east; it remained the capital of the Virginia colony until 1699.
