In 1607 the first permanent English settlement, Jamestown in Virginia, was established. The Plymouth colony was founded by the Pilgrim Fathers, who arrived in “the Mayflower” in 1620. Some colonists travelled to America to free themselves from religious persecution while others dreamed of getting a piece of free land or economic opportunity. They served English economy by trading solely with England. However, the expanding colonies were growing wealthy and feeling independent.
