I think that it was hard for them during the first year because of the swamp. They drank from the filthiest of waters which eventually made them sick with fevers and othe kinds of diseases.some of the men even died.In my opinion that was the reason it was hard.That was the reason it was hard to stay alive.

For Jamestown, on its first year, I think that it was a very hard year because of the swampy land they ended up living in. They drank filthy water and ended up being sick. The swampy water had flies in it which made the colonists even much sick. They also made many dieases.

I also like the way z-7 explained how it was hard to stay alive in Jamestown.

it was hard for them in the first year because the water was not safe to drink.also because there were flie's that killed half the people.
