Pocahontas was a Native American woman born around 1595 who saved the life of English explorer John Smith when he was captured. She often acted as a messenger between the Powhatan tribe and the Jamestown settlers, bringing food to the starving colonists. However, tensions rose between the groups as the English demanded more supplies. Pocahontas was later kidnapped by the English to gain leverage over her father. While in captivity, she converted to Christianity and married tobacco farmer John Rolfe in 1614. She traveled to England but died in 1617 at the age of 21 during the return voyage.

Monroe presidency
After the War of 1812, Americans began feeling a stronger sense of national unity and identity. The Era of Good Feelings emerged as political divisions lessened. John C. Calhoun and Henry Clay proposed the American System to strengthen the economy through tariffs and infrastructure projects like roads and canals. The Erie Canal's success spurred further canal construction and economic growth. Meanwhile, Latin American countries like Mexico gained independence from Spain, opening new trade opportunities, while the U.S. acquired Florida through treaty and established the Monroe Doctrine barring future European colonization in the Americas.
Immigration and urbanization
Between the late 19th and early 20th centuries, millions of immigrants from Europe, Asia, the Caribbean, and Mexico arrived in the United States, primarily settling in urban areas. They came for opportunities for work and to escape difficult conditions abroad. Immigrants faced harsh processing at arrival points like Ellis Island and Angel Island before trying to assimilate into American culture or creating ethnic enclaves. Rapid urbanization strained infrastructure and led to overcrowding, disease, and other problems as cities struggled to provide services for the large influx of newcomers. Political machines also exploited immigrants and the poor through corruption and graft.

It was located on Jamestown Island which had deep anchorage but turned out to be a poor location due to swampy land and unhealthy water. The original fort had three raised areas for cannons and buildings like a storehouse, church, and guardhouse were built first. Life was difficult for the colonists, with about one-third dying in 1607 from disease. John Rolfe began experimenting with tobacco around 1610, which became very profitable. Relations with Native Americans fluctuated between violence and peace until a major attack in 1622 started a long war between the groups.

The first permanent English settlement in North America was established at Jamestown, Virginia in 1607. The settlers struggled at first, dealing with a lack of fresh water, unskilled laborers, and conflicts with the local Powhatan Indians. John Smith helped the colony survive by establishing trade with the Powhatans. The colony was saved from ruin by the introduction of tobacco as a lucrative cash crop by John Rolfe, which also led to a stable society in Jamestown. Though the colonists faced many hardships, Jamestown proved that permanent English colonies could succeed in North America and opened the door for further colonization and the eventual formation of the United States.
