What was life like in the Jamestown fort?
Um herauszufinden, bin ich bei Willie Ballerson, Direktor von Leben, Geschichte und historischen Verträgen bei Jamestown Rediscovery. Grüße, Willie. Schön, mit dir zu sein. So glücklich, mit dir zu sein. In den vorigen zwei Episoden haben wir die Geburt von Jamestown besprochen und dann haben wir die Beziehungen mit indigenen Bevölkerungen diskutiert. Wir werden in diesem Episode mehr über die Tag-zu-Tag-Operationen des Places sprechen. Wie haben sie es angefangen? Wie haben sie es gestartet? Und dann, was ist am Ende passiert? This all happens, what I'm talking about, over what period of time exactly?
How did Jamestown's leadership structure work?
Well, a tremendous misconception, I know we're going to get to that discussion, is that Jamestown was a failure, that it didn't last. But it's established in 1607 in Jamestown. The actual town on Jamestown Island will remain the capital for 92 years. They don't move the seat of government until 1699. The earliest years are surely the worst, the bumpiest. And most folks fixate on about the first 13 to 17 years. They draw from that that there's no way that it could have succeeded. And the entity that actually founds it is called the Virginia Company of London, which is chartered under King James I, hence Jamestown. But the existence of this particular enterprise lasts, I guess, from 1607 to 1624. Is that fair?
That's correct. The company is dissolved in 1624. Okay. So let's talk about the founding of this. Who's in charge of the Virginia Company? Es ist ein Gruppe von Merchanten in London und sie haben für 100 Jahre den enormen Erfolg beobachtet, den die Spanier, in der Anfangszeit auch die Portugieser, in der Exploitation der neuen Welt hatten. Und sie wollen auf das Stück der Aktion einsteigen. Und im Jahr 1606 können sie King James auf einem Zertifikat signieren.
