Answer:

Jamestown and Plymouth were the first two permanent English settlement

in the Americas

Step-by-step explanation:

Jamestown and Plymouth were the first two permanent English settlement

in the Americas. The former being the first and the latter the second one.

They were both settled in Indian territory, although under different circumstances. Also, They are both linked to the Thanksgiving holiday; Thanksgiving celebration was practiced as early as 1607 in Jamestown Virginia, but it wasn´t until December 4 of 1619, after the arrival of English

settlers to Virginia, that the first official Thanksgiving day was celebrated, in accordance to the London Company´s request. However, the most well known Thanksgiving event in American history was the 1621 celebration

at the Plymouth Plantation, as a celebration for a successful harvest and growing season. Finally, both settlements contributed much to modern American law, religion, government, customs and language.
