Mayflower

Thirteen original colonies that colonized in North America set the standards for what is to be expected of North America. Of the thirteen colonies that settled in America, each one was founded for its own purpose; New Jersey for farming and trade, Rhode Island for separation of church and state, and Virginia for its quest of gold. Virginia became the first successful colony to colonize in America, founded by John Smith in 1607. On the quest for riches and gold, colonists spent most of their time…

They landed in numerous boats and settled in the Massachusetts…

The pilgrim certainly did not intend to continue to serve England; however, for the time being, the pilgrims had no choice to continue to serve under their King. The Mayflower compact was a treaty made by the pilgrim’s ideas of how the New England should be rather than their king. Certainly, these pilgrims were revolutionary in their principles. In The Times of Their Lives: Life, Love, and Death in Plymouth Colony, Deetz covers how the Pilgrims were not Puritans but separatist. The…

God that e caught hold of the topsail halyards” (Bradford 26). This man was obviously in a lot of danger and depended on God to help him survive (he was probably a Puritan considering he was on the Mayflower as a passenger and the fact that God saved him). During the Puritan’s voyage on the Mayflower, they experienced bad weather and were able to go into Cape Harbor “by God’s good providence” (Bradford 27). After they arrived, they thanked God since they relied on Him to bring them to a safe…
