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.
