Describe its impact on each of these groups: the Jamestown colonists, indentured servants, the Powhatan, the planters. Think About: •the headright system and indentured servitude •the colonists’ need for more land •the conflict between rich and poor colonists ANSWER • For Jamestown colonists, tobacco revived a failing colony. • For indentured servants, tobacco provided the possibility for work and new life but limited long-term prospects. • For the Powhatan, tobacco required much land, and its success led to colonial expansion, which Powhatan attacks did not deter.

The following lines appear in Michael Drayton’s 1606 poem, “To the Virginian Voyage”: “ When as the luscious smell of that delicious land Above the sea that flows The clear wind throws, Your hearts to swell” What do these lines tell you about the expectations many colonists had before they arrived in Virginia?
