Jamestown or Plymouth

Journeys await,

Adding to the colony,

Marking their spot,

Eating food they grew,

Selling and smoking tobacco,

Tobacco trading,

Obtaining food they grew,

Wheat and other crops they grew,

Not moving staying put,

 

JAMESTOWN!!!- If I were to  Choose between Jamestown and Plymouth I would obviously choose Jamestown because Jamestown came to the place now named Jamestown looking for gold.  They found a kind of gold, they found the golden leaves of tobacco.  The tobacco was not what they were looking for but it gave them good money to trade with the Native Americans.  They kept growing the tobacco to keep trading with the Native Americans. You are probably wondering what did the natives trade.  If they traded enough they would get either some weapons or some crops from their farm.  They didn’t only grow tobacco they also grew wheat and corn for food.  The wheat and corn was their way of getting food.  The Native Americans traded them food if they had some tobacco ready.  They had really no way of curing the sickness of the mosquito.  They carried a sickness that whipped out half of the village the remaining people made it through the sickness, but it was not over yet.  They came in December so it was a bit  chilly, but they had houses to shelter from the cold. They survived the winter so it seems like a nice place afterwards.  So I think  it would be nice to add on to our world at the time.  It also was cooler than Plymouth because they had a cool fort that went around all of their houses. I think it just would have been better to live in Jamestown than Plymouth , and that is just my opinion.   What is yours?
