The primary difference in debate over expansion during these time periods was that the Civil War had come and gone--meaning in 1890 the debate was over whether new states would be slave or free, while in the 1890s it was about economic issues.
The Virginia Company was organized to colonize Virginia and find gold.
John Rolfe helped the Jamestown colony survive by teaching the colonists how to grow tobacco.
<u>Explanation:
</u>
The settlers of the Virginia colony were convinced that there are gold deposits in the land chosen by them for settlement.
To extract this gold, the settlers came together and began a company and named it after the name of the colony itself.
When the Jamestown colony was on the verge of devastation, John Rolfe, one of the earliest settlers of the English colonies came for its rescue and taught the colonists to grow tobacco in order to fetch economic gains.
