Jamestown succeeded economically by planting and selling tobaccos. Initially the people that came to start a colony in Jamestown had to go through a lot of hardship as the water was not good and there were a lot of mosquitoes. The men fell sick and did not find enough food to eat. Later they started planting tobacco plants and became rich by exporting them to England. By the year 1675 Jamestown exported almost ten million pounds of tobacco each year.
