The first settlers who established Jamestown in 1607 were looking for riches similar to those found by the Spanish in Central America.

The success of Jamestown combined with religious tensions between Anglicans and Protestants in England, caused the Puritans to form the Massachusetts Company. The puritans believed that they could build a godly society as model for English reform and droves of Protestant family's began to settle in what would become New England. Later, in 1681 William Penn founded the colony of Pennsylvania with Quaker morals in mind, one of which was religious freedom. Although religious tolerance introduced religious diversity to the middle colonies and fragmented the Massachusetts colony, it did not change the dominance of Protestantism, whose predominance as a major faith remained irrefutable.…

    The role of trans-Atlantic trade and Great Britain’s mercantilist policies in the economic development of the British North American colonies in the period from 1650 to 1750 was to create the colonies into self-sufficient areas of living. Triangular trade within the United States, Great Britain, the West Indies, and Africa helped to distribute and/or import and export essential factors. The theory of mercantilism is “that a state should be as economically self-sufficient as possible” and it stipulates that in order to build economic strength, a nation must export more than it imports. The mercantilist policies of Great Britain were rules and regulations that every country and colony participating in the trans-Atlantic trade had to abide by.
