There wasn't sufficient funds to maintain the colony, and sufficient foods so people would starve to death. Also constant attacks from neighboring Indians affected the colony greatly.
high death rate of its settlers
They build in a swamp with high disease rates, which raised the Death Rate.
The death rate at Jamestown, particularly during its early years from 1607 to 1610, was extremely high, with estimates suggesting that about 70% of the settlers died due to starvation, disease, and conflict with Indigenous peoples. The "Starving Time" in the winter of 1609-1610 was particularly devastating, with only about 60 of the original 500 settlers surviving by spring 1610. Overall, the harsh conditions and lack of resources contributed to one of the highest death rates among early European settlements in North America.
There were many problems at Jamestown. The colonists were unaccustomed to manual labor. The water supply was very high in saline content. There was a high rate of disease and death, and relations with the natives turned bad quickly.
The death rate in a country can be high or low. there is your sentence.
Jamestown was originally a death trap due to its poor location, which was swampy and lacked clean drinking water, leading to disease and a high mortality rate. The settlers were unprepared for the harsh conditions, lacking essential survival skills and resources for farming. Additionally, conflicts with local Indigenous tribes further compounded their struggles for food and safety. These factors combined resulted in a devastating loss of life during the colony's early years.
Low
Demographic transition
No, it is actually the opposite. A high birth rate and a low death rate leads to increased populations.
They were not used to the area's climate or its natural resources.
It is a lie. They haven't a rate like that.
because it has such a high death rate - HIV/ AIDS as well as relatively high child mortality rate
