During the colonization of North America in the 1600s, religion was very nearly always influential in the lives of the colonists. Distinctly, however, the Jamestown colony was one of the very first to be founded (in 1607) which was from the start aimed at economic benefits rather than religious freedom. Its initial hopes of rich economic success were not fulfilled; however, it is generally considered to have been the first permanent English settlement in North America.
