Answer 1

Here are LOTS of sites that can help you with the history of Jamestown:

My first guess at #4 is d!! Not many survived at first. But you should read all you can about this settlement to make absolutely sure.

Answer 2

Thank you, My first 2 questions are just really general so it's tough to decide what the answer is supposed to be. Especially the relationship with the indians. Would it be Peaceful?

Answer 3

No, I don't think it's peaceful. Please read some of the sites that Writeacher posted. I'm sure the answer will then be obvious to you.

Answer 4

Ok I'm reading and I guess it was pretty hostile as the indians killed a bunch of Jamestown?

So hostile is the correct answer right?

Thank you, also can you give me the answer to #1 thank you.

Answer 5

Well It's kind of hard to decide because while it was extremely Hostile in 1622, it asks for the relationship over the set of 1607-1622 - 15 years.

So I guess it would be Unpredictable instead of Hostile?

Can someone tell me if I'm right? Thank you and what is the answer to #1?

Answer 6

Yes. I think unpredictable is the best answer.
