Tobacco was the American colonies' chief export. The Jamestown colonists had not found gold, nor a route to the South Seas, nor the Lost Colony of Roanoke Island. But they had found tobacco. Tobacco had brought the settlement from wretched failure to giddying success.
In 1619 a Dutch slave ship brought Africans to Jamestown. The captain of the ship traded his slaves for food and the Africans became indentured servants. White farmers traded their tobacco for slaves and made them work on their tobacco plantations.African indentured servants were usually very cheap.obacco was easy to grow in Virginia but the colonists could not harvest all of the tobacco by themselves. Both white people from Europe and Africans were brought to Jamestown to help with the farming. Europeans came to Jamestown because they wanted work and to live in the new colony.
