The Jamestown colony, established in 1607, was sponsored by the Virginia Company, a joint-stock company in England seeking profits through the establishment of a colony in North America. In contrast, the Plymouth colony, founded in 1620, was sponsored by a group of English Separatists known as the Pilgrims, who sought religious freedom and were initially financed by a joint venture that included merchants in London. Both colonies aimed to expand English influence and economic opportunities in the New World.

Both Jamestown and Plymouth were English colonies, and were formed in the early 1600's. Both colonies were helped by Native Americans. Neither colony started as a royal colony, but both became a royal colony for some time. Both colonies struggled at their start, but eventually survived and prospered.

They were both settled by the English and both struggled through hunger, disease, and conflicts with the Natives, though the colonists at Plymouth had generally good relations with them at first. The main religions of both colonies were versions of Christianity, but Plymouth was settled by Puritans, and Jamestown was operated under the Anglican church of England.
