England and its Virginia Company surrogate take steps to revise their approach to colonization yet again. They increase incentives for families willing to migrate, attempt to attract merchants rather than aristocrats, and develop agricultural products for export and sustenance of the colony. Colonists are granted the full rights of Englishmen and a share in self government with the House of Burgesses holding its first meeting in the summer of 1619. Despite these efforts James I revokes the Virginia Company's charter in 1624 and Virginia becomes a royal colony.
