New Spain was established primarily for the purpose of expanding Spanish territory and spreading Christianity among Indigenous populations, driven by the quest for wealth from resources like gold and silver. Jamestown, founded in 1607, was the first permanent English settlement in North America, created to generate profit through tobacco cultivation and exploit Natural Resources. Plymouth Plantation, established in 1620 by Pilgrims seeking religious freedom, aimed to create a community based on their Puritan beliefs, away from the Church of England's influence. Each colony reflected the economic or religious motivations of its founders, shaping their development and interactions with Indigenous peoples.
