My Responsibility To America

My Responsibility to America When the pilgrims endured their first winter at Plymouth, they did not have to stay with the high risk of death. It would have been far more beneficial to them to go back to Europe and deal with the religious rules, but they knew that it would help future generations even more if they stayed to start a country.
