The Puritans settled in New England seeking religious freedom and a community based on their beliefs, while Jamestown was founded as a profit-driven venture by the Virginia Company. The Puritans focused on creating a close-knit, religiously homogeneous society, while Jamestown had a more diverse population with a primary focus on economic gain through industries like tobacco farming.

The Puritans were more successful than the Jamestown colonists because they had a stronger sense of community and purpose, emphasized agriculture and self-sufficiency, and were able to establish better relations with the Native Americans in the region. Additionally, the Puritans had a more organized and structured settlement plan compared to the profit-driven motivations of the Jamestown colonists.
