Pilgrims @ Plymouth Some 100 people, many of them seeking religious freedom in the New World, set sail from England on the Mayflower in September 1620. That November, the ship landed on the shores of Cape Cod, in present-day Massachusetts. A scouting party was sent out, and in late December the group landed at Plymouth Harbor, where they would form the first permanent settlement of Europeans in New England. These original settlers of Plymouth Colony are known as the Pilgrim Fathers, or simply as the Pilgrims. The Mayflower Voyage The group that set out from Plymouth, in southwestern England, in September 1620 included 35 members of a radical Puritan faction known as the English Separatist Church.
For over two months, the 102 passengers took on the merciless waves of a crazy psychotic sea. Finally, with firm purpose and a brave heart, the cry of “Land!” was heard. Arriving in Massachusetts in late November, the Pilgrims sought a suitable landing place. On December 11, just before disembarking at Plymouth Rock, they signed the “Mayflower Compact” America’s first document of civil government and the first to introduce self-government. The grateful Pilgrims then declared a three-day feast, starting on December 13, 1621, to thank God and to celebrate with their Indian friends.
Manuel Rodriguez 12/20/2013 How Did the Enlightenment Cause the Latin American Revolution? European exploration began during the Middle Ages. During the late 13th century, Italian explorer Marco Polo went on a 25-year overland journey through Mongolia and Japan in search of a route to the Far East for trading textiles and spices that were essential to preserving food. Polo's account of his journey, The Travels of Marco Polo, published in 1477, was read by many future European explorers. (p. 1 European Exploration) In October 1492, Columbus landed on the island of Hispaniola (present-day Haiti and Dominican Republic).
On June 7, 1610 the colonists said goodbye to Virginia. They headed down the James River and on June 8th, they were met by a longboat. “The man piloting the longboat, Captain Edward Brewster, reached the Deliverance, he handed Gates a letter, which rerouted the governor’s course and that of American history.”1 Lord De La Warre had been dispatched from England to take over Jamestown after the charter and leaders of Jamestown were lost at sea. He brought three ships, carrying one-hundred fifty settlers and plenty of supplies to care for the colonists at Jamestown. The decision to return to the colony that they had just abandoned did not sit well with many of the starving colonists, but the arrival of supplies and new leadership was enough to convince Sir Thomas Gates that returning to Jamestown was the best
In few years later he had to make an emergency trip back over seas and was arrested under false pretence of being a spy and stayed in prison for 3 months. When returning to New York Crevecoeur found his house burned, farm ravaged, children missing and his wife dead. Crevecoeur worked as a solider, farmer and a government official. Besides the well educated similarities the two come from two different types of lives. Crevecoeur seems to have had more life experience behind him.
Did Abraham Lincoln Free the Slaves? “Your country? How came it yours? Before the Pilgrims landed we were here. Here we have brought our three gifts and mingled them with yours: a gift of story and song… in an ill-harmonized and unmelodious land; the gift of sweat and brawn to beat back the wilderness… and lay the foundations of this vast economic empire two hundred years earlier than your weak hands could have done it; the third, a gift of the Spirit.” -W.E.B.
Upon entering the bay in early August of 1610, the ship spent the next three months examining and mapping the eastern shore of the bay, but found no passageway to Asia. During the ship's explorations, it eventually became stuck in ice in early November and forced the crew ashore. During the rough winter, supplies and provisions were scarce, and discontent became rife amongst crew members. Once the ice melted and the ship was free, Hudson planned to continue his voyage to further explore the Hudson Bay in search of a passage but the majority of the crew adamantly
Represented by Thomas Weston, the investors were responsible for finding a boat to transport the Pilgrims and periodically sending them supplies during their first years in the New World. In return, the Merchant Adventurers would receive a profit from the resources that the Pilgrims sent back to England (20). After months of preparation, a group of Pilgrims boarded The Mayflower. Driven by Captain Christopher Jones, the boat spent 75 days at sea before finally reaching the shores of Cape Cod (35). However before they could get off the boat the Pilgrims had to decide where their community should settle.
C. Before they finished the route, Yuriy Yudin, the only surviving member, got sick and left, leaving the group with nine. D. After a few days travel they got delayed by bad weather crossing Dyatlov pass (named after their leader Igor Dyatlov), and set up camp on the slopes of nearby mountain called the Mountain of Dead by the native Mansi people, even though They were only six miles from their intended destination. Transition: And that was that. Dyatlov was supposed to send a telegram back to the university no later than February the 12th. No telegraph ever came and search team set out on February 20th to find them.
This plan, however, backfired when the ships at the harbor were to have their tea goods sent to a warehouse where it was stored for three years. Finally having enough, about 200 colonists waited for on of the ships of taxed tea to arrive at the harbor, and some dressed like Indians, threw the tea into the harbor. While they hoped this would get their point about the taxes across to England, the Intolerable acts were passed, which ultimately resulted in the American Revolution
