what would become the United States. In Virginia sat Jamestown, England’s first permanent settlement of the New World; to the north, hundreds of miles away, was Plymouth, Massachusetts, founded there over a decade later. Though both these towns were British in origin, they grew in completely separate ways. Political, economic, and social differences led to two towns, though established by people of the same nationality at similar times, that had little in common. A central explanation for why…

which to establish a home, a place where they could worship God the way they wanted to. The settlement they created, the colony of Plymouth, would become just the second British settlement in all of America. Though their original ship, the Mayflower, brought just thirty-five people, and only a few hundred lived in the other British settlement, Jamestown in Virginia, these two places were the starting points of an emigration and new society that grew to include millions over the next hundred and…
