You have to excuse the DA's for complaining about you asking questions I thought that was the goal of this site. The answer your teacher is looking for is private trading company (the Virginia Company) if you want to impress her tell her it was also English debtors as the Va. Company went to the King and asked for slaves to do the work, (they were called indentured slaves). They would work until they paid off their debt. So while a part of the Company they were separate as they would eventually work off their debt and be free, as well as, being free of the Virginia Company. By the way they were not looking for gold get your nose out've MTV you might get in a decent college.

The English settled it under the rule of King James. Same king who ordered the translation of the Holy Bible into English (King James Version)

You'll love this one: English glassmakers.
It seems that because there was a SERIOUS run of glass making in England, trees were coming down fast - TOO FAST. So in order to keep Britain from losing all her forests, they tried to find glassmakers who would pack themselves off to the new colony named after Elizabeth I ("the Virgin Queen" => VIRGINIA). Turned out only a few took them up on it, though...
