Plymouth

Death is tragic but to lose your freedom is like you're already dead. When the Mayflower docked in the New World they had one mission in mind which was to be free from their King James VI. King James VI was the king at the time, he was not in favor of letting his people practice Christianity. The Natives did not expect to have new faces introduced on their lands. When the colonist finally have arrived they were cruel. They were cruel for the fact that they were newcomers to a land they did not…

Growing up in Southeastern Wisconsin, I’ve been raised tied and true to a family of Badger alumni and fans. On any given Badger gameday, you’ll be hearing my dad chant “Let’s go Red!!!” around the lower floor of my house. There’s a spirit in the Badger name like no other, and it isn’t limited simply to our great state of Wisconsin, our Badger influence has spread infectiously to every corner of the United States. I love the University of Wisconsin in so many ways. Practically half of my wardrobe…

started to search for a more permanent settlement location. Roger Conant was born in East Budleigh, Devon, England in 1592.

Before Conant sailed to America he worked as a Salter, and became associated with people who disapproved with the Puritan authorities in Plymouth, and lead the settlement to Salem. Conant and the other founders of Salem came up with the name of Salem from the Hebrew…

Religion is a very powerful influence in some cultures, and to some, it is how people have governed their lives and what they held onto in times of hardship. Off to the new land the Pilgrims did go, but it wouldn’t be as easy or comfortable as they had hoped or even imagined, rather it was a hard journey for all. However, once the difficulty of the trip had passed, they started anew and made acquaintances that would later become valued friends. The faith of the Pilgrims was strong, despite harsh…

As a medical practitioner in a developing nation , I am acutely aware of the urgent need for competent primary care physicians and their role in the prevention, early detection and management of conditions which contribute to morbidity and mortality and which burden our limited healthcare resources. Upon graduation from medical school, as the recipient of a government scholarship, I undertook a period of obligatory employment in one of the major public hospitals in my country - first as an…

At the beginning of the semester we discussed Christopher Columbus’s Letter to Luis de Santangel and Danticat’s “Maguana 1492” as part of the theme of wonder and horror. I really enjoyed that topic and found it interesting, so for my research paper I discusses how the wonder that was experienced in both of these texts are different. I claim that the wonder Columbus experiences is more fabricated and that he uses marvelous to raise his observations and the land he sees to a level of perfection,…

landed, the Puritans named the colony Massachusetts Bay. This colony was ruled by John Winthrop, who was an energetic governor/minister, had an authoritative rule, and believed that power was limited to Puritans. The Puritans had conflicts with the Plymouth colony who were Separatists (Pilgrims) because they had a different belief which the Puritans had no tolerance for. The conflicts would have never happened if the Pilgrims didn’t get blown off course and land in Massachusetts instead of…

the effects of such interference, being the Revolutionary War, developed the rich history of America. A group of disgruntled Puritans desperately seeking religious freedom saw an opportunity overseas. In 1620, a group of such Puritans landed at Plymouth Rock on the shore of America. Though at first they had amicable relations with the natives there, things soon turned sour and the colonists eventually…
