  • Summary

  • John Smith imprisoned on the ship to Virginia? Secret names locked in a box? A company, and not the king, was behind the first permanent English colony in America? In this episode of Why Wars Happened, we explore how a broke King James I needing quick cash, led to the formation of The Virginia Company. We dive into the adventures of the colonists, the rocky start, and the high-level drama involving John Smith, who was chained to the floor of one of the ships, before they even reached Virginia's shores. Tune in for an intriguing tale of debt, charters, and the birth of a new English stronghold!
