= The English Settle in Jamestown  =

The settlers were more interested in gold than in planting crops. During their first few years on this land, seven out of ten people died of hunger, disease, or battles with Native Americans. Despite the bad start, they gained a foothold in the new land. Jamestown became the first permanent settlement in North America. The English also discovered tobacco which made them profitable cash.
