Question

The settlers who migrated to Roanoke and Jamestown could have had multiple reasons. Economic profit was a chief motivation, as being the first to settle this new land meant claiming a place of importance as it grew. It would unlock opportunities for those who came early. Escape from various persecutions would also have been possible. While Jamestown was not founded on a religious basis, like Plymouth, the new world offered a degree of freedom. Thrill and adventure were surely part of why people chose to go, as was the opportunity to be part of something greater than themselves.

If this is a true or false question, then the answer is yes, the affirmation is true.

The first white Europeans that arrive at the North American territories did not have any religious motives, as was the case of the Puritans that arrived later in Massachusetts.

For instance, the people who settled the Jamestown, Virginia colony was sponsored by the Virginia-London company and the main reason to settle the Northamerican territories was to make a profit and get rich. The idea was to exploit the many raw materials and natural resources as was the case of tobacco, that became the king of crops in Jamestown and was exported to Europe.
