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.

There were many problems in settling in Jamestown. Food was scarce. They had a Brackish/(Unclean Not health) Water supply. Where they settled was muddy. Their were mosquitos that were spreading diseases. (Maleria) People were spending their time digging for gold instead of planting crops for food. And they didn't have many hard workers because most of the people who traveled to the Americas and founded Jamestown were Upper-Class Englishmen.
