To what extent was Jamestown successful
at creating a British presence in the New
World?

Throughout the 16th century Spain capitalized on the
abundance of resources found in the New World.
Quickly other countries recognized the potential for
the accumulation of wealth in the Americas and
competition for control of its resources began. After
the failure of the Roanoke colony, Great Britain staked
its claim in Jamestown in 1607. Due to disease,
swampy land, and a lack of skilled laborers many of
the early settlers did not survive. Despite these early
troubles, John Rolfe’s introduction of tobacco
transformed Jamestown into a thriving colony. The
success of Jamestown increased British immigration to
the New World and set a foundation for the plantation
system that spread throughout the South, but the
British did not truly make their presence known in the
New World until they established commercial
domination in the New England and Middle colonies in
the early 18th century.
