In 1606, worried about the future of their faith, members of the church in Scrooby, Nottinghamshire, “separated” from the Anglican Church, declaring it corrupt
beyond salvage.

In 17th century England, Separatists
had to go either underground or into exile. Since only the latter would permit
them to practice their religious faith openly, exile is was. In 1608,
some 125 of the group departed
England for the Low countries.

They were led by their pastor, John Robinson; church
elder William Brewster; and a 16
year-old youth, William Bradford.

In 1619, after a brief stay in Amsterdam, disheartened by the difficulties they had
encountered in making a living, disappointed by the failure of others in England to join them, and
distressed because their children were being subjected to ridicule, these Pilgrims decided to move again- to seek “a place where they might
have liberty and live comfortably.”

The Pilgrims approached the Virginia Company about establishing a settlement near the mouth of the Hudson River on the northern boundary of the company’s grant. The London Company, though unsympathetic to the religious views of
the Pilgrims, agreed with their request.

Since the Pilgrims were short of money, they formed a joint-stock company with other
prospective emigrants and some optimistic
investors who agreed to pay the expenses of the group in return for half
the profits of the venture.

In September 1620, about 100 strong, only 35 of them Pilgrims from
Amsterdam – they set out from
Plymouth, England, on the Mayflower.

Had the Mayflower reached the passenger’s intended destination, the Pilgrims might have
been soon forgotten. Instead their ship touched America slightly to the north, on Cape
Cod Bay. Unwilling to remain longer at the mercy of storm-tossed December seas, they
decided to settle where they were.

Since they were outside the jurisdiction of the London Company, some members of the group claimed to be free of all governmental control. Therefore, before going ashore, the Pilgrims
drew up the Mayflower Compact.

“We whose names are underwritten,” the Compact ran,
“do by these Presents, solemnly and mutually in the
presence of God and one another
covenant and combine ourselves under into a civil
Body Politick…and by Virtue hereof do
enact…such just and equal laws …as
shall be thought most meet and
convenient for the general Good of the
Colony.”

Early in American history, the idea was advanced that a society should be based on a set of rules chosen by its members. The Pilgrims chose William Bradford as
their first governor. Ordinary people created a
government that they hoped would enable them to cope with the unknown
wilderness confronting
them. mnemosynesmagicmirror.blogs

Having landed on the bleak Massachusetts shore in December 1620 at a place they called Plymouth, the Pilgrims had to endure a winter
of desperate hunger. About half of them died.

But by great good luck there was an Indian in
the area, named Tisquantum – Squanto – who spoke English! In addition to serving as an interpreter, he
showed them the best places to fish and what
to plant and how to cultivate it.

They, in turn, worked hard, got their crops in the ground in good time, and after a bountiful harvest the following November, they treated themselves and their Indian neighbors to the
first Thanksgiving feast.

Bradford prided himself on treating
the Indians fairly. We “did not possess one
foot of land in this Colony but what was
fairly obtained by honest purchase of
the Indian proprietors,”
Bradford boasted.cog-ff.com

But the Indians yielded the land readily because so many had died of smallpox,
likely brought by settlers.

And the Pilgrims, after hearing of the Powatan attack on
Jamestown in 1622, ambushed a band of
Massachusetts Indians, killing
seven, and put the leader’s head atop a post at the Plymouth
fort. usslave.blogspot.com

Yet by 1650, there were still fewer than a thousand settlers, most of them living
beyond the reach of the original church.
