Jamestown or Plymouth?!

Would I rather go to Jamestown or Plymouth, I don’t know?! I would rather go to Plymouth because you didn’t have to pay extra for your family to go with you to Jamestown, that’s why I would rather go to Plymouth! There is more to the Plymouth colony than just a bunch of people who wore black and yellow! Also there are more reasons I would rather go to Plymouth than Jamestown. One of them is that Plymouth came to worship freely, while Jamestown came to get rich. Also Plymouth was always making friends with the Wampanoag Indians, while Jamestown had lots of fights with the tribe over there. Meanwhile Jamestown was the first permanent English settlement, while Plymouth was the second. Jamestown had an official charter, which means they could explore the land that King James the first allowed them to, while Plymouth didn’t have an official charter, so they had to wait on the King to give them an official charter! How would you like to wait on a King to let you live in a foreign country, with Indians that could attack you any minute!! But they waited, and waited, and waited, and finally, they got the official charter! While Jamestown was looking for something gold, they did find something gold, not gold bars, but tobacco leaves. So then they started growing tobacco leaves, and prospered!! Plymouth learned how to grow corn from the Indians, but they don’t use corn like us, they use it to make cornmeal!! Where would you rather live, Jamestown or Plymouth?!
