These descriptions of the English colonies in North America are accurate

Explanation:

To make sure a robust social framework would remain, colonist representatives developed the Mayflower Compact. Standish played a big role in imposing the new regulations and defending settlers from indigenous American citizens.

James 1 sold rights comprising lands stretched from present-day Carolina and the Canada-US border to two rivalries of group investors. The Plymouth Company provided the northern lands and the London Company was provided the southern lands.

In the Northern lands, Plymouth settlement in Maine failed and eventually was abandoned. However, the London Virginia Company developed the first successful settlements of English colonies in Jamestown in 1607. The first years after settlement is very difficult with increased death rates from illness, diseases, and starvation, wars with local American Indians and for gold.
