The statement that best describes most of the early Jamestown settlers is "gentlemen unprepared for hard work."

The Jamestown colony in Virginia was the first founded by British colonists in 1607. The Virginia London Company had received the charter from King James to establish this colony, so the company sponsored the trip to the Americas. The purpose of the people traveling to the new continent was to get rich. When they arrived, they realized that the conditions were different and they needed the help of some Native American Indian tribes to survive, overcome diseases, and get food.
