We are talking about an important time in United States history when the English people decided to colonize the North American territories for many reasons. For instance, the people that founded the Jamestown, Virginia colony in 1607, were sponsored by the Virginia-London Company to exploit the raw materials and make profits. Or the Puritans that founded the Plymouth colony in Massachusetts in 1620, who were escaping from religious persecution from the Church of England.
