When asking the question, “were the first colonists in the Chesapeake region ignorant, lazy, and unambitious,” I would have to answer yes.

If the colonists wanted to pursue a colony that could coexist with the native tribes, they would have been more ambitious and less ignorant, and would have decided on a plan for the two groups when they first arrived.
