Both Jamestown and Plymouth were English colonies, and were formed in the early 1600's. Both colonies were helped by Native Americans. Neither colony started as a royal colony, but both became a royal colony for some time. Both colonies struggled at their start, but eventually survived and prospered.
They were both settled by the English and both struggled through hunger, disease, and conflicts with the Natives, though the colonists at Plymouth had generally good relations with them at first. The main religions of both colonies were versions of Christianity, but Plymouth was settled by Puritans, and Jamestown was operated under the Anglican church of England.
The Pilgrims settled in what is now known as Plymouth, Massachusetts. Eventually the settlement would be considered the colony of Massachusetts.
They both started fighting over resources, food and land. They wanted everything that the Native Americans had, and thus they were competing for the same resources,
I will give you a suggestion to help you. Make a Venn diagram for your comparison and contrast of the colonies. With it laid out that way you can write the essay. I would also suggest you start with Jamestown since they came in 1607 and Plymouth happens in 1620. You could do a paragraph or two on Jamestown explaining why they came to Virginia and what happened. Then, move to Plymouth and explore how their colony was set up and why. Then, compare the two, and finally contrast them. I would end the essay with a summary putting it all together. A good opening line for your essay is " the purpose of this paper is to compare and contrast Jamestown and Plymouth " you can use this line with just about anything you write and it will help focus your thinking for your essay.
