Jamestown and Plymouth differ primarily in their motivations for settlement; Jamestown was established in 1607 as a commercial venture by the Virginia Company, while Plymouth was founded in 1620 by Pilgrims seeking religious freedom. Additionally, the Jamestown settlers faced significant challenges related to disease and conflict with Indigenous peoples, while the Plymouth settlers were more focused on creating a community based on their religious beliefs. Furthermore, Jamestown's population was largely composed of young men seeking wealth, whereas Plymouth attracted families and individuals committed to a shared faith and communal living.
