Best Answer

Early in his reign, King James I issued royal charters for the colonization of the mid-Atlantic region, now Virginia, to English stock-joint companies, which raised capital by selling shares. In other words, it was colonized to make money for England and possibly expand trading.

People colonized Virginia because that's where they landed. Some went to Jamestown, Virginia for religious freedom.
