England. :D
English settlers in the winter of 1610 were starving to death so they ran off to live with the Powhatan Indians to at least be fed. And when summer came by the governor of the colony sent a messenger to return the runaway English settlers back.
According to history, 214 settlers arrived in Virginia in 1607. After that Winter, only 66 survived (from starvation, diseases and indian attacks).

During the third winter (1609-1610), known as "the starving time", 154 of the colony's remaining 214 settlers died due to lack of food and medicine. This brought the total deaths to nearly 9 in 10 of the 500 that had originally come to the colony.
The nickname for the colony of Jamestown is "The Starving Time." This term refers to the winter of 1609-1610, during which the settlers faced extreme food shortages and harsh conditions, leading to widespread starvation and death. The colony struggled to survive due to inadequate supplies, conflicts with Indigenous peoples, and poor agricultural practices.
I'm assuming you mean the white settlers in America during the period before the United States became a country. These people where worried about things like The Native people- were they friendly or dangerous Food and winter- would they be able to have enough food and enough shelter to survive the winter God- most settlers that came to the new world by choice were religious so they wanted to know God's will

because during the starving time, the settlers of Jamestown took their food for the winter to themselves.
very very cold
To remember the first winter in America and what the settlers had to do to survive it.
