The Indians took the treaty and left but as I wonder would we see them again would they be lingering around? We got quickly back to work looking gold as we are promised, but there was no gold to be found we wondered if this is all a lie to make the pave the way to the richer and more privileged to settle in the new world. We work days and nights to try to find the gold looked all around and ask around, but there's no cold to be found for all that we knew this is all a big …show more content…

I that this that a husband turned to cannibalism and ate her wife just to stay alive for a few more days. of course dear that such a thing would happen I secretly stashed on loads of food before the winter knowing that this could all happen if there were no gold to be found. All I hear about now a days’ are atrocities about stores getting pillaged over food which was a commodity that was easily obtained just a few months earlier. It is pretty clear that there is no gold to be found so we looked around for other ways to make money in Jamestown nevertheless there's nothing to be made and all attempts of making it big are shut down for one reason or another. At last the Virginia company was declared bankrupt and the king was not pleased by this, he ordered that the new colony would be considered a royal colony and thereby a governor might be commissioned.

The English settled in Jamestown with the goal of striking rich, which they battled to meet in the first twenty years. The Virginia Company received a charter from King James I of England in hope of finding gold and possibly finding another route to the Indies, which also was in search of products and wealth. In fact, the company was only supposed to be in North America for a few years and then be liquidated, yet this stay was much longer. Subsequently, the beginning of Jamestown was dreadful as the colonists were susceptible to many dangers. Forty people died on the trip across the Atlantic in 1606-1607; in another voyage in 1609, the leaders died and their supplies were lost in a shipwreck off the Bermuda.

The Starving Time at Jamestown in the Colony of Virginia was a period of starvation during the winter of 1609–1610 in which all but 60 of 214 colonists died.
