Transcription 1 2 3.2.9A: Explain why the early colonies of Virginia, Massachusetts, New York, and Pennsylvania were founded and how their governments were organized. The four colonies of Virginia, Massachusetts, New York, and Pennsylvania were all founded for different reasons. Virginia was founded in 1607 by the Virginia Company of London, a joint-stock company, for the purpose of making a profit. The colony was initially based on the idea of a company-owned settlement, with the company selling shares to investors and using the money to fund the settlement. The government of Virginia was organized around a governor and council, with the governor appointed by the company in London. Massachusetts was founded in 1620 by a group of religious separatists known as the Pilgrims, who were seeking religious freedom. The government of Massachusetts was organized around a governor and a General Court, with the governor appointed by the company that funded the settlement. New York was founded in 1626 by the Dutch West India Company, which was looking to establish a trading post in the area. The government of New York was organized around a governor and council, with the governor appointed by the company. Pennsylvania was founded in 1680 by William Penn, a Quaker, for the purpose of providing a refuge for other Quakers. The government of Pennsylvania was organized around a governor and a legislature, with the governor appointed by Penn.
