During the colonization of the American continent, the British has created many colonies. After having traveled across the Atlantic, 104 men landed in Virginia in 1607 and called their settlement Jamestown which was the first permanent English settlement in America and 13 years later, 102 settlers landed in Massachusetts, a place they decided to name the Plymouth colony.

One of the differences is, first of all, the location of the settlements.
