What led to the survival and expansion of the virgini
colony?

In May 1611, a new lieutenant governor, Sir Thomas Dale, arrived in Virginia with a fleet bearing 300 new settlers and soldiers as well as provisions, supplies, livestock and seeds to grow garden crops. These new supplies and the leadership of Dale seemed to rejuvenate the town. Dale was a military man who was appalled at the conditions he found at Jamestown. Within a month of his arrival, he toughened and  expanded the rules laid out by Gates and de la Warr, inflicting harsh punishment upon lawbreakers.

Dale built and repaired structures at James Fort and established thriving new settlements up the James River at Henrico and Bermuda Hundred in order to disperse the population.

Company leaders knew that without sufficient fresh recruits and investment, the colony could not long survive. In addition, in spite of some successful trading missions to acquire corn, for the most part the war with the Powhatan Indians continued unabated. Morale among the colonists was reported as being so low that the great majority of settlers would surrender to the Spanish without a shot fired if offered the opportunity to return to England. It is against this backdrop of mixed news that another quite unexpected turn of fortune presented itself.
