Jamestown was more than just a settlement for English people wanting a new start in the New World. The purpose of creating Jamestown was to aid England by creating plantations to grow tobacco & cotton. Cotton was needed by England to feed their textile industry & tobacco was now a great new discovery that Europeans wanted to have in a big way. The settlement was there to stake out and expand its territory in Virginia.
