An Interesting Fact

Where was the first permanent English colony in America?

I must admit that before I moved to Virginia, I would have given the wrong answer. 

Was it Plymouth, Massachusettes or Jamestown, Virginia?

The correct answer is Jamestown.

Jamestown is the real birthplace of the United States of America.

Did you know this?

Starting in Jamestown

The book, AMERICAN ROOTS 1585-1607 takes place mainly in Jamestown, Virginia. But, it starts in Roanoke, the Lost Colony of Virginia and the first attempt of making a permanent English settlement in America, the New World.

Jamestown is the first permanent English Settlement in the United States of America. It dates prior to Plymouth, Massachusetts.

Hence, Jamestown is the birthplace of the U.S.
