Jamestown succeeded economically primarily by planting and selling tobacco. The cultivation of tobacco became a profitable enterprise that attracted settlers, generated revenue, and ultimately helped ensure the survival and growth of the colony. While other activities like glassblowing and trading with Native Americans did contribute to the economy, it was tobacco that became the cornerstone of Jamestown's economic success.
