Problems in Jamestown• 1.) Jamestown’s population was made up of
townspeople that were unfamiliar with living in the country–Unfamiliar with raising livestock and growing
crops• Many upper-class “gentlemen” refused to do
manual labor• Unstable political system• Sickness, food shortages and lawlessness
![Page 5: English Colonies in America. Southern Colonies 1.) Maryland – Lord Baltimore was the 1 st proprietor of the colony 2.) Virginia 3.) North Carolina 4.)](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062518/5697bf941a28abf838c90337/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Problems in Jamestown• “Tobacco saves the colony”–Tobacco would be the crop they would
use to trade to England for money• House of Burgesses–1st representative government in North
America, but the Virginia Company had to approve any law it passed
![Page 6: English Colonies in America. Southern Colonies 1.) Maryland – Lord Baltimore was the 1 st proprietor of the colony 2.) Virginia 3.) North Carolina 4.)](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062518/5697bf941a28abf838c90337/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
