Anchor event for end of Period 1/beginning of Period 2

Jamestown, established in Virginia by the Virginia Company of London, was the first permanent English settlement in North America. Despite early struggles with disease, starvation, and conflict with indigenous tribes, Jamestown eventually prospered, primarily due to the introduction of tobacco cultivation, setting a precedent for English colonial expansion and the development of the plantation system in the southern colonies.
