Both towns eventually collapsed because of the cause of starvation and death.

James town was the first settlement in North America and was developed mainly to supply to the mother country with new goods.

In both towns, these civilizations both had their ups and downs. But Jamestown was something else. Men were superior to women. Women were working with crops while the Men would run the town and make sure it was successful. Women would often work on corn, wheat, potatoes, etc. But most importantly, everyone was for themselves. People had to make sure that they were going to eat, where to sleep and what not. As a result of that, many got rich. Many were making money for themselves. However, once Smith left the colony, he never returned.

Their enemies didn't really want them on their land so Jamestown had to build a fort to protect themselves from getting killed.

In the early settling of the Americas, the main goal for an established colony was to make money for their country; however there were almost always underlying goals for the members of each colony.The earliest colony, Jamestown, stuck firmly to it’s goal of profit as even the church required a tax. Rules were also implemented to make sure members worked, those who didn’t work did not eat. The pilgrims we all know and love had other plans on their mind when they finally set out for the new world, originally they were sent to help collect profit but accidentally sailed north of Jamestown. In this new area they were free from the Anglican church and for the most part, became self sufficient.

They made money and were extremely strict with their religious beliefs, some were beaten for breaking the rules as this would bring god's wrath upon everyone. Others settled away from the puritans as they thought their rules were far too strict, such as the Quakers. All of these colonies can be seen to settle in three regions of the east coast, the colonies within the regions all having something in common. Each region is motivated by something different be it, religion, trade, or materials.
