I'm figuiring this out as I'm typing. But, here are the five answers I have, tobacco, John Smith, John Rolfe, Pocahontas, and Chief Powhatan. I have tobacco because when John Rolfe found tobacco it was a huge success. I also have John Smith because he made a rule when he became leader who does not work does not eat. I have Pocahontas because she saved the leader John Smith. Lastly I have Chief Powhatan because he agreed with his daughter and to spare his life.
Within 6 months after arriving on the James River only 32 of the 106 who arrived in 1607 were still alive. In 1608 Capt. John Smith arrives to take control of the colony and began to organize the men. He began to ration the food and connected with the Native Americans for food. His actions saved what was left of the colony. The next important event that saved Jamestown was the introduction of tobacco. John Rolf had brought the seeds to Jamestown and tobacco production began. The English also passed laws making it illegal to grow tobacco in England and tobacco could only be bought and sold through Jamestown. This gave them an monopoly and helped the colony.

Who sponsored the colony of Jamestown and Plymouth?
The Virginia Company was a joint stock company chartered by King James I of England. The Virginia Company of London successfully established the territory of Jamestown, while the Virginia Company of Plymouth was to establish a colony further north. The Plymouth Company failed when their colony of Popham, in modern-day Maine, failed in 1608. Plymouth, Massachusetts was established by the religious separatists known as the Pilgrims after securing a land grant from Sir Edwin Sandys, a major stockholder in the failing Plymouth Company. So technically, the Virginia Company sponsored both the Jamestown and Plymouth colonies, but the latter was a bit more unofficial.
