Thesis Statement
Jamestown was the first English permanent Settlement in America. It opened up a huge part of our lives, including land and peace. Captain John Smith led the three ships known as the Godspeed,the discovery and the susan constant. Since we did what we did in 1607 at Jamestown we now have a stable country.
It might well be thought, a country so faire (as Virginia is) and a people so tractable, would long ere this have been quietly possessed, to the satisfaction of the adventurers, and the eternizing of the memory of those that effected it. But because all the world do see a failure; this following treatise shall give satisfaction to all indifferent readers, how the business has been carried: where no doubt they will easily understand and answer to their question, how it came to passe there was no better speed and success in those proceedings.
On December 20,1606 a group of explores set of to America to establish a colony. They landed 60 miles away from the Chesapeake bay and called the colony Jamestown. The leader of the the explorers was captain John Smith.
