If I were an English citizen given an opportunity to be a part of founding Jamestown in 1606 then I would not have taken that opportunity because of the initial struggles faced by the colonists which were deadly. First of all, the leader Captain Newport was not that able leader and did not realize that setting up in a marshy area which was unhealthy alongside James river would prove negative in the long run.
