Jamestown was the first successful colony set up by Great Britain in the New World. It's also the first place slaves were brought to in North America in the year 1619. Without Jamestown, there would be no precedent for successful colonies in America. The colonists starved and struggled while maintaining a tumultuous relationship with the Powhatan Indians. Some colonists even resulted to cannibalism, but the colonists endured and made Jamestown, Virginia a permanent colony and establishing the foundation for the eventual United States of America that would come in the next century. At the same time, it would set a precedent for the slave trade in the New World, and show that enslaved Africans were just as good as Indentured Servants, cheaper, and that they could be mistreated with little to no repercussions.
