Question

Was Jamestown the first capital in America

Answer 1

No, Jamestown was first English colony in the New World (America).

Explanation:

• The founding of Jamestown, the first permanent English colony in America, Virginia in 1607 - 13 years before settlers came to Plymouth, Massachusetts - caused a series of cultural events that helped shape the nation and the world at large.
• The governance, language, customs, beliefs, and aspirations of these first Virginia citizens are all part of the United States' heritage today.
• The colony was funded by the Virginia Company of London, a group of investors hoping to profit from the venture.
• The company was leased by King James I in 1606, and at that time the company also represented English national interests - counterbalancing the spread of other European nations beyond the native territories, seeking a northwest passage to the Orient and converting local Indians to the Anglican faith.
