|HasArticleText=This article describes the conditions encountered by the colonists from the time of the first colonies to the 1760s when differences between the colonies and England became belligerent.

The first colony that had a continuous population were the collection of small settlements on the James River. These date from 1606, so we begin there.

 ::"During the years 1618 to 1624, Sandys, . . . made great and successful efforts to send over colonists and supplies; in three years' time no fewer than 3570 emigrants crossed the Atlantic to Virginia.  As there were six hundred . . living in the colony at the beginning of this period, the total number . . . to be accounted for is 4170.  In March 1622, before the Indian massacre, there were living in Virginia twelve hundred English colonists, showing that in three years nearly three thousand persons had perished from disease and starvation.  The "massacre" cost the lives of three hundred and forty-seven more.  Instead of carefully searching out the causes of the disasters, the company continued to pour setters into the colony; but in 1624, when a careful enumeration was made, there were only 1232 colonists alive, including in this number twenty three negro slaves."
 Reports from members of Sandys' own family who traveled to Virginia painted a grim picture of the conditions of life in Virginia in those days.

 ::*There was also much internal strife.  In January 1608, of the colonial council appointed by the king one had died of disease, one had been executed, two were waiting execution, leaving only two others alive and at large. The reasons are not apparent.
 ::*One of the council recommended including all surviving members be consulted on governing, but this was considered too democratic and despotic rule was to continue.
 :*Of these first 197 colonists who sailed for Virginia from England, in November, 1606, 53 were alive in April 1608.
 ::This was typical of the first groups to sail to America and an important thing to understand and remember.  Primarily men, but also women and children; these were the first heroes of American history.
