Best Answer

One of the settlers had tobacco seeds (which were nearly impossible to get from Spain..where it was farmed at the time... because the penalty for giving tobacco seeds was death) Even at that time, Britian would do anything to get their hands on tobacco. Soon every garden in Jamestown was growing tobacco, and soon became an extremely wealthy settlement in the 13 colonies.
