Answer: :)

Step-by-step explanation:

The settlement became the first permanent English settlement in North America. Why did the colonists at Jamestown struggle in the beginning? Famine, disease and conflict with local Native American tribes in the first two years brought Jamestown to the brink of failure before the arrival of a new group of settlers and supplies in 1610.
