Jamestown was set up created in the hope of achieving what?
Jamestown was established in 1607 by the Virginia Company primarily to seek profit through the exploitation of natural resources, particularly gold and silver. The settlers aimed to create a sustainable colony that would generate wealth through trade and agriculture. Additionally, it served as an opportunity for England to expand its territory and influence in the New World. Ultimately, the establishment of Jamestown marked the beginning of permanent English settlement in North America.
How was Jamestown funded?
It was funded by an investment company. The 104 men were sent to look for gold and to bring a profit for the company. It was not founded to create a colony, but they picked the worse land to build a fort on in the whole area. The water was bad, the mosquitos carried disease, they set up camp in a Native American empire of 15,000, a Spanish spy was with them, and they didn't plant crops. Within 6 months only 34 men were alive and disease/starvation took their toll.
Who was the first European settlement in the present day US?
The British tried to establish a settlement in North Carolina, known as Roanoke, in 1587 but the colony, known as the "lost colony", did not survive. The Jamestown colony in Virginia, was the first permanent British colony on the mainland U.S. St. Augustine, Florida, was founded in 1565 by the Spanish and is considered to be the oldest European permanent settlement on the mainland U.S. There are several Spanish settlements in Mexico that are older, however. St. John's and Harbour Grace, Newfoundland, Canada were established in 1583 and therefore both older than Jamestown or Roanoke.
When was the English colonies set up in America?
The first established colony was Jamestown and it was established in 1603. Plymouth colony was established in 1620. Jamestown nearly failed, but the introduction of tobacco in 1609 saved it and it grew.

Was North Carolina the first colony?
No. The first European settlement in what is now the United States was in what is now Pensacola, Florida (settled in 1559). The first successful permanent settlement was in what is now St. Augustine (settled in 1565). North Carolina was not settled until the 1580s (and both of those settlements failed).

What is important to remember about the Jamestown colony?
The lesson of Jamestown is to go prepared . The men of Jamestown went for the wrong reason, built a fort in the wrong location, and didn't plan very well. This cost them their lives because within 6 months 34 of the 104 were still alive. At some point there will be a colony on the moon and I would hope that the people going would learn the lessons from 200 years ago in Jamestown.
