Your discrediting the history of this country by not knowing it! Strike another victory for public schools !(sorry i was private school kid)
The colony was sponsored by the Virginia Company of London, a group of investors who hoped to profit from the venture. Chartered in 1606 by King James I, the company also supported English national goals of counterbalancing the expansion of other European nations abroad, seeking a northwest passage to the Orient, and converting the Virginia Indians to the Anglican religion.
An guess what you know those Pilgrims searching for religious freedom that came to MA? Well.....
the Congregation obtained a land patent from the London Virginia Company, allowing them to settle at the mouth of the Hudson River. They then sought financing through the Merchant Adventurers, a group of businessmen who principally viewed the colony as a means of making a profit. Upon arriving in America, the Pilgrims began working to repay their debts.[7]
oh the horror! To think without big business you'd be scuffling around London town saying "can you spare a six pence govnah?"
Learn your history kid. No one spends a dime unless there is a dollar in return. You do know the revolutionary war was about taxes, dont you?
