Jamestown Disaster DBQ Documents
In May 1607, about 110 Englishmen arrived at the mouth of a great bay on the coast of Virginia. It was to be the first permanent English colony in what is now the United States. The first years of settlement were not easy. This DBQ asks why so many colonists died.
We will not be writing an essay related to this DBQ packet. Instead, we will be going over the documents and having a discussion related to the near failure of the Jamestown colony.
