    In America, many people could own land. Most Europeans wanted land for farms to make a living and settle their children. The father’s responsibility was to provide the children of money, land, and property. The parents that could not afford land for their children contracted them for indentured servitude. After the children were released from servitude, they had to go up the social ladder to become a freeholder.…

    The male heads of Pilgrim and non-Pilgrim families therefore drew up a compact that bound all signers to accept whatever form of government was established after landing. The compact created a “Civil Body Politic” to enact “just and equal Laws, Ordinances, Acts, Constitutions and Offices.” Every adult male had to sign the agreement before going ashore. The compact remained in effect until Plymouth was incorporated into the short-lived Dominion of New England in 1686 and subsequently absorbed into the Massachusetts Bay Colony in 1691. In other words they left and they got lost and so they signed something called the Mayflower Compact.…

    William Bradford’s sourcebook on Plymouth and John Winthrop’s model of government for the Massachusetts Bay Colony both indicate the theocracy behind these two settlements, but also the well organization of government. This vast difference is clearly indicated by comparing the setting up of a government in Plymouth and Jamestown. Plymouth was governed in accordance with the terms of the famous "Mayflower Compact," an agreement binding all to conform to the will of the majority. This agreement was established well before their landing on the colony. However, in the case of the Jamestown settlement no prior agreement between the settlers is accounted for. In their case, the orders of government and the governor were not declared until the settlers’ arrival in Virginia. This indicates that the common values and goals behind the Pilgrims is what aided them in times of hardships and despair. Although discontent and mutinous speeches were sometimes accounted for in the early beginnings of the Plymouth settlements as indicated in Winthrop’s records; the problems were dealt with and the unity was almost always secured. This is in contrast to the feuding leaders and gross mismanagement that is accounted for in the records of John Smith.…

    1. Until quite recently, most American history textbooks taught that before Europeans invaded the Americas Indians were savages who lived in isolated groups and had so little impact on their environment that it remained a pristine wilderness. We now know from scientific discoveries that this account was wrong. What is the effect of learning that most of what we have assumed about the past is "wrong in almost every aspect," as Mann puts it on page 4?…

    1. America turned to domestic isolation and social conservatism because of the Red Scare. The Red Scare cut back free speech, in which the hysteria caused many to want to eliminate the communists. Some states made it illegal to advocate overthrowing the government. From 1920 to 1921 about 800,000 Europeans named New Immigrants flooded into the US. Because of this Congress passed the Emergency Quota Act of 1921 which only allowed 3 percent of Europeans to come the US. Soon after, the Immigration Act of 1924 was passed cutting the 3 percent to 2 percent. This also ended all Japanese immigration. The US was anti-Europe and in this case they decided to isolate themselves from Europe.…
