Question 2 • WV-US Studies

What is the significance of the Starving Time? Check all the boxes that apply.

Answer
A
Relations with the Powhatan improved.
B
Nearly all the colonists died.
C
People were forced to eat things they normally would not.

During the Starving Time at Jamestown, severe shortages of food and supplies caused most colonists to die. Those who survived were so desperate that they ate things they normally would not, including leather and other unusual food. Relations with the Powhatan did not improve, so A is incorrect.
