The Colony Survives • In 1612, a colonist named John Rolfe began growing a new kind of tobacco and sending it back to England. The tobacco was sold for a lot of money. • Rolfe married Pocahontas, an Indian, in 1614. Their marriage led to a long time of peace between the Indians and the English. Why It Matters • After years of struggle, the little community of Jamestown grew larger. It was joined by other colonies. • Later, these colonies-13 in all-came together as a new country, the United States of America.
