Those who settled at Jamestown intended to make their fortunes and return to England. They had hoped to find the mineral riches that Spanish colonization of Latin America had yielded. While they did not find gold, the fact that they were founded by a joint-stock company meant that they had to find a way to become profitable. The founding of Jamestown established the need for the Southern colonies to pay dividend to English investors, ensuring that generating wealth was the primary function of the Southern colonies.
