Anonymous · Answer

King James I settled the rivalry between London and Plymouth merchants by granting the First Virginia Charter in 1606, which divided land rights between the two groups. The London branch received territories near the Chesapeake Bay, while the Plymouth branch was allocated land in New England. This arrangement allowed both merchant interests to coexist and contributed to England's colonization efforts in North America.
