What is the total number of colonists to arrive at jamestown by summer of 1609

The ships Susan Constant, Godspeed and Discovery with 104 men and boys, had left on December 16, 1606 from the Blackwall docks on the River Thames, stopped at the Canary Islands for water, arrived in Martinique on March 23. Later they arrived at the southern end of the Chesapeake Bay in April 1607.

They did not stay there long. When they made a reconnaissance of the coast, the natives showed up and chased them until they returned to the ships. But the cartographer Richard Hakluyt had instructed them where they should establish their colony, and on May 14 they had already chosen a site, almost 100 km inland, next to the newly baptized James River, where they built the fort of Jamestown in less than one month. Its location on a small peninsula and its triangular shape protected the settlers from the threat of Spanish ships and attacks and the Powhatan Indians. On May 26 of the same year, the natives who inhabited the areas outside the island, the Paspahegh attacked the settlers, killing one person and injuring another eleven.

In the winter of 1608 there was a fire in the food cellar; on the other hand, a chapel and a warehouse were built. The following winter, a famine killed 200 people surviving only 60 settlers. Up to 1610, 80% of Jamestown settlers die, leading to cases of cannibalism among members of the English colony, such as the case of a 14-year-old girl analyzed at the National Museum of Natural History of the Smithsonian Institute.

In 1622, in what was known as the indigenous massacre of 1622, the settlers were attacked by the Powhatan Indians dying around 400 in battle. Later the fort of Jamestown was left to establish the town.

they believed democracy was worth the fight

the vast majority of ballots have been counted nearly two weeks after one of the biggest political upsets in modern u.s. history catapulted donald trump to the presidency.

estimates show more than 58 percent of eligible voters went to the polls during the 2016 election, nearly breaking even with the turnout rate set during the last presidential election in 2012, even as the final tallies in states like california continue to be calculated, according to statistics collected by the u.s. elections project.

but among those figures were stark contrasts in key states that swing the election to trump — in ohio, wisconsin, iowa, michigan and elsewhere — indicating the president-elect’s leap from long-shot candidate to the most powerful political position in the world may have happened in part because of apathy toward hillary clinton’s candidacy, especially among the democratic base, several political scientists and organizations monitoring voter turnout told the pbs newshour.

while clinton is leading the popular vote by more than 1.5 million over trump as of sunday, she trails president obama’s 2012 totals by more than 2 million ballots — a chasm that may have cost her the election, said david becker, co-founder of the center for election and innovation and research.

“several million voters didn’t come out to vote,” becker said. “which is telling me that this idea of the trump wave, a huge number of voters shifting over to trump, is certainly not the story.”
