Until John Rolfe arrived with tobacco seeds it was pretty much a failure. It was began as a investment for the London Company. The 104 men who first came weren't there to settle, but to seek gold and go home. They built the fort on the worse land in the area. The water was bad, there were disease carrying mosquitoes., and they were in an empire of 15,000 Native Americans.
