Although the Roanoke colony was founded earlier (in 1587), that colony failed; upon returning from a trip to England for supplies, its Governor found the settlement abandoned. Although one of the earliest New England colonies, Plymouth (in modern Massachusetts) was not founded by the Pilgrims until 1620.</p> </explanation> </question-wrap> </sec> ...
