Ruby Hutchins:

Farming affected the English, the Native Americans and the Africans and without it Jamestown wouldn’t of survived through those hard winter and summer months. Tobacco allowed Virginia and England to get rich. Farming helped keep the English alive, the Africans enslaved and the Native Americans constantly getting pushed off their land. Farming created a lot problems but it also created opportunities. It created jobs and was what drove the economy. If there weren’t farms in the Colonial Era, the first colony would have died out and we wouldn’t be here today.
