U.S. History class help needed

Hello,
I’m writing a paper for my U.S. History class, and I’m analyzing the role of leadership in the early Jamestown colony. I’ve been reading about Sir Thomas Dale, and I’m curious about how his leadership affected the colony’s growth and stability. What were some of the key actions he took that helped the colony survive and thrive, and how did his background in the military influence his approach? Any examples from the text would be really helpful. Thanks!
