Question

How did Sir Thomas Dale end the conflicts in the Virginia colony?

Answer 1

The Colony of Virginia was the first permanently settled English colony in North America. Newfoundland, with seasonal settlements, had been established as a colony by Royal Charter in 1583. American archaeologist William Kelso says Virginia "is where the British Empire began... this was the first colony in the British Empire." The colony existed briefly during the 16th century, and then continuously from 1607 until the American Revolution. The name Virginia was first applied by Sir Walter Raleigh and Queen Elizabeth I in 1584. After the English Civil War in the mid 17th century, the Virginia Colony was nicknamed "The Old Dominion" by King Charles II for its perceived loyalty to the English monarchy during the era of the Commonwealth of England.

Answer 2

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Sir Thomas Dale ended the conflicts in the Virginia colony in the following way. He established the rule of good order in the colony of Jamestown. This colony was living a difficult moment known as the "starving time," where people were dying because they had no food to feed their families, The Native American Indians -the Powhatan Confederation- did not help the European colonists to survive. He put people to work. Everybody had to learn had to grow crops. He installed martial law when necessary. If people wanted food they had to work. If there were any disobedience acts, they were punished. That is how Dale put order in Jamestown.
