The colony at Jamestown‚ the colonies at Plymouth‚ and the colony at Boston had different nature‚ goals‚ successes and failures. There was a cross of similarities and differences. One thing that remains obvious is each was looking for something that was lacking in their home land. There was a perception and a picture that each group had when they left their homelands.
