Answer 1

The problems faced by the English colonists at Jamestown include:

1. The settlers believed that farming was beneath them, so they did not plant crops for the winter.
2. The location of the colony made life difficult for the settlers.

While the settlers did face challenges regarding security and relations with other countries, the specific statement about vulnerability to Spanish attack is not as prominently cited among the primary issues of the Jamestown colony compared to the struggles with local resources and farming. The issue with indentured servants was less significant in the early years compared to survival and food production.
