In 1607, a group of radical Christian, the so-called Puritans, illegally broke from the Church of England, the established church of the kingdom at that time. They formed the English Separatist Church and settled down in the Netherlands, as they didn’t have full religious freedom in their homeland. This solution was provisional at best, and so one hundred women, men and children of the Separatists decided to head for the New World and pursue a simple life in which they could follow the bible and…

In “A History of Plymouth Plantation”, William Bradford distinguishes three significant Indians whose appearances assisted guidance for the Pilgrims through the New World. Several years later, Cyrus Dallin produced a sculpture in 1921 that signified Massasoit, one of those three Indians, as the Signal of Peace.

Governor William Bradford was an influential man who wrote about his journey from England to the New World as well as his preparations of a colony for success. Bradford immigrated with the Pilgrims to New England in search of religious refuge from the Anglican church (“Pilgrims” Pilgrims). The Pilgrims believed that the church had not made enough reforms.
