Along with the Puritans were countless changes for the Native Americans that were already there. William Bradford’s book “ Of Plymouth Plantation” and “Coming of Age in the Dawnland” written by Charles C. Mann were both about the Puritans and Native Americans. When the settlers came to America, the Native Americans’ lifestyles became different, as they were introduced to a new and different group of people, where they were introduced to another enemy and learned to settle instead of roaming.…

In Of Plymouth Plantation, Bradford’s language depict him as a very eccentric man when it comes down to his faith and his loyalty towards the Christian God. Through the excerpts, Bradford prides himself in one of the most common Christian sayings, “God works in mysterious ways.” This saying would become very prevalent in his account of the challenges and complication the Separatist faced during the “Pilgrim Journey”. Bradford reveals his views and beliefs through the diction in his writings…

The texts La Relación, Of Plymouth Plantation, Huswifery, and The History of the Dividing Line show that a person’s outlook can be affected by many things, but the most contributing factors are often the most obscure; a person’s background, morals, and perspective can have a great effect on their opinions. In other words, someone who experiences something firsthand will have a much different and likely more positive view of the situation, and a person’s background and original morals have the…

narratives, in particular, remain an essential part of learning about such travels. John Smith’s The General History of Virginia, New England, and the Sumer Isles and William Bradford’s Of Plymouth Plantation recount the founding of two unique settlements.

Other colonies and tribes soon joined the fight and it became all out war. Victory was won after the colonies joined forces with Native American allies. Eventually, Metacom…

nowadays, back in colonial times the migration rates were dramatically decreased. However, no matter what era it is, new settlers will always have an effect on the native population. The new settlers of the Americas are just one example of leaving impacts on native populations. There are many works depicting the changes caused by settlers, two instances of these appear in the works "Of Plymouth Plantation" by William Bradford, and in Charles Mann 's work "The Coming of the Dawnland." The…

Another example of God’s providence is Squanto. Bradford explicitly states that he “was a special instrument sent of God for their good” (Bradford 31). Again, the Puritans needed someone to teach them how to live in America. Since they were still new to everything, they relied on God to bring them someone and when Squanto came they automatically called it God’s providence. The belief of God’s providence shows the Puritans reliance on…

On the other hand, Jamestown and Plymouth had quite a bit of things that were different from each other for example, their reason to leave England, and the amount of people who came on each voyage. Nevertheless both contributed greatly to present American heritage of law, custom, government, religion, and heritage. Therefore Jamestown and Plymouth were very important to modern America, and we wouldn’t be where we are today without these two…

Is there a way to determine where the truth lays when there are two different perspectives on the same situations? Unfortunately, there is no clear cut answer. In William Bradford’s Of Plymouth Plantation and Thomas Morton’s New English Canaan, there are countless discrepancies between each story.
