Answer 1

The main reason why Jamestown was founded is to gain wealth.

Inhabitants wanted to earn more wealth and huge profits from gold mining activities. Also, the settlers here did not want to pay the taxes that they were forced to pay when they were in England. Although not as important as the urge to gain as much wealth as possible, the settlers also wanted their own religious freedom and believed in the concept of self-government.
