What I was thinking of was that the situation at Jamestown remained precarious even after Capt. John Smith left...at one point the settlers all abandoned the colony and sailed down the James River, only to encounter an expedition on its way to Jamestown with fresh supplies, whereupon they went back to Jamestown. It didn't really prosper until they learned to produce tobacco as a cash crop.

You do realize the major sin you have committed here, don't you? You mentioned tobacco in a positive manner..........that is not permitted in the USSA.........ask the people in Philadelphia, they'll tell you all about it.

Youse is the second person plural in Philadelphianese - which btw is allowable language to be spoken at Geno's Steaks ( near where I used to live) even though it is not quite English.
