Final answer:
Oliver Cromwell's rule did not directly lead to immigration to Virginia. However, the tobacco industry and the headright policy in Virginia attracted English farmers, resulting in an increase in immigration.
Step-by-step explanation:
Oliver Cromwell's rule in England did not directly lead to immigration to Virginia.
During his rule, known as the Interregnum, there was not much immigration to the English colonies, nor were new colonies created.
However, Virginia did experience an influx of settlers, mostly young male indentured servants, due to the tobacco industry.
The headright policy was implemented in 1618, which granted 50 acres of land to anyone who migrated to Virginia and an additional 50 acres for each immigrant they brought with them.
This incentive for land ownership attracted English farmers to Virginia, contributing to the increase in immigration.
