The first settlers of Jamestown were all men. Most of them were gentlemen looking for gold. They hoped to get rich quick and then return to England. Few of the men were used to the hard rigors and work that it took to survive in the New World.
In 1619 a Dutch slave ship brought Africans to Jamestown. The captain of the ship traded his slaves for food and the Africans became indentured servants. White farmers traded their tobacco for slaves and made them work on their tobacco plantations.African indentured servants were usually very cheap.obacco was easy to grow in Virginia but the colonists could not harvest all of the tobacco by themselves. Both white people from Europe and Africans were brought to Jamestown to help with the farming. Europeans came to Jamestown because they wanted work and to live in the new colony.
