Why did the colonists settle along the james river

The location could be easily defended from attack by sea (Spanish). The water along the shore was deep enough for ships to dock, and they believed they had a good supply of fresh water. Hope this helps!

the group i'm selecting: greeks.

a first group of greek immigrants came to the us in the 1850s. the second group came to america starting in the 1890s due to economic opportunities they didn't have back in their home caused by the hardships of ottoman rule. greek immigration was 90% male, many of them expected to work and return to greece after earning enough capital, but ultimately had to remain in the us after the greek genocide.
