Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Virginia Company did not fully accomplish its goals for the shareholders or for its settlers. The initial years of the Jamestown colony were marked by starvation, disease, and conflicts with Native Americans.

Additionally, the settlers themselves faced a difficult and often precarious existence in early Virginia, with mortality rates remaining high throughout the colony's early decades.
