Excerpt from The Planters of Colonial Virginia
For this intolerable situation there could be but one remedy - England must secure colonial possessions to supply her with the products for which her forests were no longer sufficient. Her bold navigators had already crossed the Atlantic, return 'ing with alluring stories of the limitless resources of the New World, of mighty forests spreading in unbroken array for hundreds of miles along the coast and back into the interior as far as the eye could see.7 Why, it was asked, should Eng lishmen be forced to make the hazardous journey to the Baltic in order to procure from other nations what they might easily have for themselves by taking possession of some of the limit less unoccupied areas -of America? It was folly to remain in economic bondage while the road to independence stretched so invitingly before them.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the history of colonial Virginia in the 17th century, particularly highlighting the economic and social impact of tobacco cultivation, which drove the colony's development and profoundly shaped the lives of its inhabitants. The author traces the early efforts of the London Company to establish lucrative industries such as shipbuilding and iron production, but these ultimately failed due to a shortage of cheap labor. Instead, tobacco emerged as Virginia's primary cash crop, leading to a surge in immigration as indentured servants from England flocked to the colony seeking economic opportunities. The book delves into the complex social structure that resulted from this labor system, with landowners amassing vast tobacco plantations worked by a workforce of both white servants and enslaved Africans. Through extensive research and analysis of primary sources, the author sheds light on the diverse experiences of Virginia's early settlers, their struggles, and aspirations, ultimately revealing the profound influence of tobacco on shaping the economic, social, and demographic landscape of colonial Virginia.
