The
Plymouth Colony was formed for the purpose of having religious freedom
(the Pilgrims), while the Jamestown Colony was formed by adventurers
looking to make a profit in the New World.
The Plymouth Colony was in MA, while Jamestown was in VA.
Plymouth, in spite of adversity, became a successful New World colony, while Jamestown never really made it off the ground.
At Plymouth, the Pilgrims did well living in harmony with their Native
American neighbors, while at Jamestown they did not do very well at
living peacefully with the Native Americans.
Much of the reason Plymouth did better than Jamestown was because the
Pilgrims put their trust in God and were there to establish His Kingdom
among themselves in a sacrificial, unselfish manner, while at Jamestown,
the mindset was quite selfish. God blesses what is done according to
His heart, but He will not bless what is done out of a selfish heart,
where His will is not taken into consideration. Hope this helps!!
