Because they arrived with an insufficient supply of food and it was too late to grow crops, half of the Pilgrims died in their first winter.

Sir Francis Drake is guilty of voluntary manslaughter. This comes in play with the Spanish Armada. Voluntary manslaughter is where you kill someone and plan doing it. Drake planned on killing the Spanish Armada because Queen Elizabeth told him they were preparing to kill her. The queen never said to kill them, she told Drake to stop them.

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.
