This led to plantation-based economy in Virginia. On the contrary, freedom from religious harassment motivated people, primarily Puritans, to come to Massachusetts to exercise their religious beliefs. In other words, although both the Virginia and Massachusetts colonies originated in England, colonial Virginia and Suffolk Massachusetts were developed into different societies by the late seventeenth century due to differences in economy and religion. The Virginia and Massachusetts Bay colonies differed in economy. Economic profit was a primary driving force in the colonization of Virginia.
Jamestown Settlement is a name used by the Commonwealth of Virginia's portion of the historical sites and museums at Jamestown. Jamestown was the first successful English settlement on the mainland of North America. for King James I of England, Jamestown was founded in the Colony of Virginia on May 14, 1607. On May 14, 1607, a group of roughly 100 members of a joint venture called the Virginia Company founded the first permanent English settlement in North America on the banks of the James River. Famine, disease and conflict with local Native American tribes in the first two years brought Jamestown to the brink of failure before the arrival of a new group of settlers and supplies in 1610.
Jamestown, Virginia vs. Massachusetts Bay Settlements In the early 1600s, Jamestown, Virginia and Plymouth, Massachusetts were two of the first successful English colonies in North America. Jamestown was established in 1607 and the Massachusetts Bay migration began in 1630.

The colonists tried different outlets to produce income for the colony such as silk, wheat, glass, timber, and cotton, before discovering tobacco’s profitability. Nicotiana rustica, the native tobacco raised in Virginia before the colonists arrived, was not favored by the Europeans. John Rolfe, however, was the first man to successfully raise a strand that the Europeans embraced. By contrast, Plymouth had more success by implementing a variety of cash resources for the colony. Its largest profits came from fur trading with Maine and the Dutch of New Amsterdam.
Morgan, states, in his interpretation of the Fiasco, “for the next ten years they seem to have made nearly every possible mistake and some that seem almost impossible.” (pg.63) I concur with Mr. Morgan’s statement. The first decade in the settlement was real rough for the colonist. For example, they landed in 1607, by the winter of 1609 almost half a grand of people living in the settlement where starving to death. “There are five hundred people in the colony now. And they are starving.” (pg.63) The colonies were forced to cannibalism.
When Bradford arrived back onboard, he learned of the death of his wife, Dorothy. The day after he had embarked with the exploring party, Dorothy slipped over the side of the Mayflower and drowned. Many historians, including Nathaniel Philbrick and Gary Schmidt, suggest that Dorothy may have committed suicide due to despair over her separation from her only son and fear of settling in a dangerous wilderness. Bradford did not write about her death in his journal, and there are no indications that Bradford ever spoke of her again.

They placed the ark at the feet of their god Dagon.
