In 1607 the hopeful Englishmen founded the Jamestown Settlement in the new world. Jamestown was the first English settlement in Virgina. They struggled to survive, because they did not know how to farm. The English did not work much, because they traveled in search of riches. Jamestown would not have survived if it were not for Captain John Smith. Captain Smith knew how to trade and have peace with the Indian's. He wisely created a smart rule "He who will not work shall not eat!" Even though the Englishmen could not find Gold, they still had a successful colony. Jamestown is still a city in Virginia today. And it was the first permanent English settlement in the New World.
