George Popham was the leader of the settlers at Sagadahoc, in the state we now know as Maine. He set sail from Plymouth, England in 1607 with about 120 passengers on a ship called the 'Gift of God.' The settlement did not last long.

According to my history textbook, the Plymouth Company financed the Sagadahoc colony in 1607. It was in what is now Maine. It was formed at the mouth of Kennebec River. However, problems forced them to return within a year. Some problems were arguments among colonists, a harsh winter, fights with Native Americans, and food shortages. Some of the colonists were also convicts from prison.

The primary cause of death among tobacco-growing settlers was nicotine poisoning. These settlers ingested too much nicotine, and they got sick and died.
