The Puritans and Jamestown: Key Figures and Economic Theories in Early Colonial America

Explore the significant contributions of the Puritans and John Rolfe in colonial America. The Puritans sought to purify the Church of England while also fleeing religious persecution. John Rolfe's introduction of mild tobacco became a crucial economic factor that saved the Jamestown colony, established in 1607 as the first successful English settlement. We also discuss the Mayflower Compact, the principles of mercantilism led by John Smith, and the indentured servant system that incentivized migration.
