Why the English Settlers Chose the Location for Jamestown
They chose Jamestown because it had everything they needed. It was close to the sea so they could collect fish and shellfish and hunt for whales. They could trade with the Indians and trade and receive supplies from England. It was close to the forest so they could hunt animals for meat and skins. They also gathered wood, berries, leaves and fruit.This gave them food and helped
them build houses and it gave them wood for a fire so they could cook and keep them warm. There was fresh water so they could drink, cook and clean. It also had fertile soil so they could plant crops to eat. It was very beautiful.
