Answer:

The peninsula did not have good land for farming and didn't even have access to fresh water. Many colonists died within the first few years

Answer:

When Jamestown was founded in 1607, the settlers built their fort on a peninsula. This peninsula did not have good land for farming and didn't even have access to fresh water, and many colonists died in the first few years.
