When the Jamestown settlers arrived in 1607, they were instructed to focus on establishing a fort for protection and to search for gold and other resources to ensure the colony's profitability. The Virginia Company, which sponsored the expedition, emphasized the importance of finding wealth to attract further investment and support. Their initial efforts were heavily focused on exploration and exploitation of resources rather than sustainable settlement practices.
