They came into Jamestown for more land, and to seek gold. They're motto: GGG, Gold, God, and Glory. It was rumoured that the "New World" had gold. And then it expanded, making them think it was a treasure island. So, they went to Virginia, colonized Jamestown. Didn't turn out to be what they thought until late 1800s.
Jamestown was founded first, and was a financial venture (they hoped to make money) Plymouth was settled for religious reasons. First settlers at Jamestown were all men, some of the first settlers at Plymouth were women.
The settlers of Jamestown colony were from England. They came to the states... Okay, America looking for gold because the Spanish had found it but were instead met by disease, starvation, death, and angry natives.
The difference between the Jamestown government and the Plymouth was that the Jamestown weren't so friendly with the Indians, the men didn't work, disease was spreading among them, and the water they drank was impure. Also they only came with men to Jamestown and then after John Smith came to govern, that's when the ladies finally came and they established a colony.

The first English colony in North America was Roanoke, the settlers arrived in July 1584.Roanoke (in present-day North Carolina) was the first colony, but it was a dismal failure. The colonist disappeared without explanation and it came to be known as "The Lost Colony". About 20 years later Jamestown was established.
There was no United States when the first colony began. Plymouth colony was the first permanent colony in 1620. Jamestown came before men looking for gold while Plymouth was families and planned to stay.
