Im pretty sure that Jamestown was founded to start the beginning of the new colonies that England planned to establish in America.  The men were sent over to set up the colony as it was only forest when they landed so that it would be suitable for women and children to come over later after they had made sure the area was safe and that there was proper shelter for them.

Yes, Scott is confused. Massachusetts is indeed a state as well as a Commonwealth--it's the "official" term they use for Mass. But it is also one of the 50 states of the United States of America; it has two names. But the capital of Massachusetts is Boston.

His life at the pond was simply an experiment in simple living. You could say he left because the experiment was over, or it was time to leave. \n\nThis was just one of the lives he had to live and it was time to move on to another life. \n\nThis is what Thoreau said about it:\n\n"I left the woods for as good a reason as I went there. Perhaps it seemed to me that I had several more lives to live, and could not spare any more time for that one."

Link below is the source of this information:\n\nSmith's firm leadership (he was soon elected president of the colony) held the colonists together and narrowly avoided extinction. Wounded by an explosion of gunpowder, Smith sailed to England in late 1609 to recover. He never returned to Virginia.\n\nThe entire article is really very interesting.

Here is a teaser, read the bottom for the rest\n\nSamuel de Champlain (1567?-1635) was a French explorer and navigator who mapped much of northeastern North America and started a settlement in Quebec. Champlain also discovered the lake named for him (Lake Champlain, on the border of northern New York state and Vermont, named in 1609) and was important in establishing and administering the French colonies in the New World.\n\nIn 1603, Champlain sailed to France on Francois Grave Du Pont's expedition. They sailed up the St. Lawrence River and the Saguenay River; they also explored the Gaspe Peninsula. He returned to France in 1603, and decided to search for a Northwest Passage and to settle the Gaspe Peninsula. \n\nYou can find the rest of the details here\n\nhttp://www.enchantedlearning.com/explorers/page/c/champlain.shtml

Colonial Rhode Island\n\nhttp://colonialancestors.com/ri/rhodeisland.htm\n\nThe American Colonies\n\nThe history of the original 13 colonies is a tangled tale indeed. There are many ways to view the events and, in hind sight, it is easy to think you understand. But no one knew where they were headed at the time and it could have ended up very different.\n\nhttp://www.dasd-ew.org/history.htm#colonial\n\nhttp://www.fordham.edu/halsall/mod/modsbook12.html\n\nhttp://www.usgennet.org/usa/topic/colonial/index.html\n\nGood luck\n\nKevin, Liverpool, England.
