Plymouth Colony, established in 1620 by the Pilgrims, was primarily founded for religious freedom, attracting a group of Separatists seeking to practice their faith without persecution. In contrast, Jamestown, founded in 1607, was a commercial venture aimed at profit through trade and agriculture. The differing motivations and governance structures of the two colonies led to distinct political identities and practices, resulting in Plymouth maintaining a more democratic and community-oriented governance compared to Jamestown's profit-driven focus. Additionally, Plymouth's smaller scale and cohesive community fostered a sense of political separation from the larger Jamestown settlement.
