The English Empire wanted to recreate England in their colonies in America. The fact that England was a small island, while America was a large continent caused this to fail. The differences in geography and flora were too big between America and England for the settlers' wish too recreate England in the New World to succeed.
Jamestown was the first "successful" attempt to settle in the New World. When they arrived, the worst place possible to settle on was chosen; a low and swampy, hot and humid place with outbrakes of malaria in the summer. It was surronded by thick woods which were difficult to clear for cultivation. The settlers, who were adventouros gentlemen, knew nothing about how to create a village noor did they know anything about the land they tried to settle on. The thick woods was nothing like what they were used to back in England. Jamestown did not become what the settlers wanted it to be. It became a place of death and misery. Infections, particularly malaria, weakened and killied several of the settlers. The only good thing one can say about Jamestown is that they somehow managed to survive.
The New World was a large area of land and the English settlers were not the only people living there. Native Americans, the Indians, had allready lived there for thousands of years. Indians provided the settlers with crucial information on how to adapt to the new land. The English learned about important local food crops such as corn, beans, pumpkins and potatoes. They learned crucial agricultural techniques from the Indians too. Natives also served as important trading partners for the settlers. They traded fur for manufactured goods such as iron pots, blankets, guns and alcohol.
But the peaceful realationship soon ended. Tension developed because of the white settlers' demand for more land. Back in England only the wealthy people had their own land, while in the New World there was lots of land that no one had claimed to be theirs yet.
