Lesson 11: The Jamestown Colony

Question:  What was one of the primary reasons the king stated in the Virginia Charter for allowing the colony to be established?

To "propagate the Christian religion."
Other reasons were to find gold,  a sea passage to Asia and the Indies, and to establish the king's power.

Another Question:  What does the song "Tobacco's but an Indian Weed" indicate about the controversial nature of tobacco since the moment of its introduction into Europe from the New World?

Although tobacco brought wealth and "delight" it also brought decay.
