The Virgina colony was not concerned with religious freedom. The 105 men who arrived on the James River to form Jamestown were there to make money or get rich from finding gold. They didn't prepare themselves for the colony to be successful and within the first 7 months only 34 were alive. One of the fables of our history is that all settlers came to find religious freedom and this is not true. Jamestown is a prime example of that as false.
