The Nightmare of Jamestown Video and Questions

It's a story of bubonic plague, starvation, espionage and cannibalism -- and the founding of America's first colony. In 1607, a handful of English adventurers set sail across the Atlantic, expecting a paradise teeming with gold and riches. Now, 400 years later, the latest discoveries reveal the true story of Jamestown--as you've never seen it before. With exclusive access to forensics and archaeology, National Geographic reveals shocking new evidence of starvation and disease, secret plots and Spanish spies. Authentic recreations bring to life one of the most dramatic chapters in America's history.

You will be watching the video “Nightmare in Jamestown” by National Geographic. As you watch the video please answer the following questions. 

Here is a link to the Video

The New World: A Nightmare in Jamestown Video Questions

2. What are some of the problems on the ships during the journey over from England?

3. What was the death rate at Jamestown? 

4. What are the first few problems with the land they settle?  What is missing?

5. Why were the English not prepared for attack from the Natives?

6. Why were men at Jamestown dieing in such large numbers?

7. How and why does John Smith change the future of the relationship between Natives and the colonist?

8. During the 1600’s, what was more dangerous, disease or surgery?  Why?

9. After the “starving time”, what was the next problem the colonist had to deal with?

10. What is the importance of Bartholomew Gosnold?
