Is James Horn's assertion that "Jamestown also presents two sides of America's founding. On the one hand, England's New
World offered many settlers opportunities for social and economic advancement unthinkable at home, while on the other,
colonization unleashed powerful destructive forces that were catastrophic for Indian peoples, whose lands were taken by colonists,
and for enslaved Africans and their posterity, whose labor enabled Jamestown, and indeed America, to flourish" true? Why or why
not?

Jamestown presents two sides of America's founding one is positive and the other is negative as some people obtained benefits but others were negatively affected.

Jamestown was one of the first settlements in North America, this settlement was located in Virginia, and it is believed it was the beginning of the colonization in North America.

This important event has been considered by experts as both positive, and negative. This is because:

  • Discovering and settling in this new territory was a huge advancement (Positive).
  • Settlers had opportunities that were not possible in Europe (Positive).
  • Native people from the area had to leave their territories and many died because of diseases brought by settlers (Negative).
  • Later, African people were taken as slaves to Jamestown and other territories (Negative)

This means this event has two sides because only some obtained a benefit from it.
