Arsenic was a common poison in the 1600s. Arsenic may be been
used to kill rats, therefore, it had been brought to the colonies. The
colonists ate rats when they were desperate for food.Tests of some bone fragments found
low levels of arsenic, but they could have absorbed the arsenic
from the soil. The settlers went from feeling relatively okay to not being able to
stand or walk within 10 days. This change seems to be too quick to
have happened from disease.

I believe that the reason settlers died at Jamestown in 1609 was because of the poor water supply. I say this because in theory #2 it tells us the settlers would drink water that had lots of salt, and they would deposit their feces into the same water, there was also mosquitoes breeding into the swamps nearby. This shows that the water was dangerous to drink and was the cause of the settlers death.

The Jamestown settlers probably died because they didn't have food or because they probably got a diseases cuz they might of just ate anything they could find or they where just lazy and didn't want try and find food or there wasn't any clean water to farm. In the first theory they talk about how there was a severe drought causing farming to be nearly impossible. They also didn't want or learn how to hunt/fish so getting food that way wouldn't be an option. This shows that there was no way to get food causing them to starve to death.
