The English were seeking to establish their domain over the New World, to use its resources and to provide bases for defense (and privateering, or piracy) against the Spanish.
Despite losing the 1585 colony of Roanoke, English efforts continued with Jamestown in 1607, hoping to exploit the resources of North America. Some of the original colonists sought gold or other valuables, but they were scarce in the Virginia region. Farming for the support of the colony was soon extended to cash crops for export, such as tobacco.
