They were on the search for religious freedom. Not the kind of religious freedom that meant everyone could believe in whatever they wanted. No, the Plymouth settlers did not want that at all. Infact when they went to the Netherlands first to escape the English 's corruption of the church, they were appalled at the behavior of the Dutch. People worshipping gods of nature? Ridiculous, or that 's how the…

the old man to Plymouth where he would have been shipped off as a slave … instead Church asked him where he wanted to live out the rest of his life… Church made some enquiries and soon Conscience had a new home.” By using Church’s exact reactions and speech it paints him as more dimensional. This is especially true given his views on the enslavement of the indians, Philbrick writes, “To Church’s mind, the enslavement of Indians from Plymouth and Dartmouth in the summer of 1675 was “an action so…

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. John Smith was an influential member of the Jamestown settlement. Further north, William Bradford assisted in founding the Plymouth settlement along with the Pilgrims. While these are not the only authors of earlier American travel narratives, certainly their books contribute an…

While in the process of colonizing America, servants signed contracts, or indentures, to gain an entry into America. Although it may have seemed like a good deal, they were unaware of the danger and turmoil that was going to occur. The travel across the Atlantic has been described as torturous, and many of the servants who agreed to come did not get to live to see the New World. For those who survived the journey, it seemed as though there was disease and death surrounding them everywhere they…
