Answer:

to serve as hubs of exploration for a Northwest Passage to China

Explanation:

The colony of Virginia, mapped in 1606 and settled in 1607, was the first permanent English settlement in North America, after several unsuccessful attempts in Newfoundland -by Sir Humphrey Gilbert in 1583- and on Roanoke Island by Sir Walter Raleigh. end of the same decade.

The founder of the colony was the Company of Virginia and its first two establishments were Jamestown, on the banks of the James River, and the Colony of Popham, on the banks of the Kennebec River, in the present state of Maine, both in 1607. Popham's colony quickly failed due to famine, disease and conflict with the Native Americans (the Powhatan confederation) in the first two years. Jamestown was also about to fail but was saved thanks to the arrival of provisions and new settlers. In the colony of Virginia, tobacco became the quintessential business and produced many benefits for the settlers.

In 1624, the letter from the Virginia company was revoked by King James I, and the colony of Virginia was transferred to Crown property, as a royal colony. After the English Civil War, in the mid-seventeenth century, the colony of Virginia was nicknamed by King Charles II as The Old Dominion for its loyalty to the English monarchy.

It would "to serve as hubs of exploration for a Northwest Passage to China," that was not a reason why the London Company and Plymouth Company were granted charters to form Virginia colonies, since it had already been established that this was not a viable route.

Which was a reason the capture of Fort Ticonderoga was important for the colonist?
SpyIntel [72]
In 1775 when the American Revolution began, the British and Americans had one of the most important battles at Fort Ticonderoga. Here the British Military base was attacked, and the capture of the fort became the first American victory. It boosted the morale of the Continental Army and would be a significant factor in the outcome of the revolution.
The colonists hoped that Fort Ticonderoga could stop the British Army from proceeding to the South.
The Fort had critical importance ranging from Ammanents that Americans had short of supply and had a collection of massive artillery (howitzers, cannons, and mortars). 
The Forts location at the shores of Lake Champlain was also a strategic route to the British controlled provinces in the North and route along the thirteen colonies.
