Of Plymouth Plantation
Of Plymouth Plantation Traveled on mayflower from England to get to America and spread religion. Another ship broke down so they let those onto their ship. One guy was impure because he was making fun of them for being sick. He planned to throw those people overboard but he died of sickness himself and the England men tossed him over instead. They believed it was Gods doing for him not being pure. Ship had started to leak as the weather got bad. All of them decided to talk to the captain and ask why they were continuing when their ship was broken. They guys on the ship that are made to fix the ship believed it was ok to keep going after fixing some things. They took sails down due to wind hurting the ship. They believed if God wanted this voyage he would take them on their way. A guy fell over and grabbed a sail, so they believed God was saving him. Overall only few died which is good because of all the diseases going around. They got to Cape Cod (New York) but couldn’t get off due to rocks so they turned around and ended up in Huston River. They again believed God would get them there. They got to Cape Harbor finally and kissed the land thanking God.
Sensa was someone who traveled before them and said he’d rather travel by land. A guy said think of what we went through for this and we have nothing. They believed the Natives (barbarians, Indians) would help and they would be welcomed with riches, homes and food but were actually being shot at by what they called the beasts (Natives.) They were upset they didn’t even have a mountain to look over nor did they know of how many Indians there were.
A shalap is a smaller ship carried by the big ship. Their shalap was beat up so they needed to fix it. They believed it wouldn’t be fixed soon so they decided to go by foot to river they could see far away. They captain set 16 of them out in the wilderness, all armed, to see what’s out there.

    "In examining the question how the disturbances on the frontiers are to be quieted, two modes present themselves, by which the object might perhaps be effected; the first of which is by raising an army, and (destroying the resisting] tribes entirely, or 2ndly by forming treaties of peace with them, in which their rights and limits should be explicitly defined, and the treaties observed on the part of the United States with the most rigid justice, by punishing the whites, who should violate the same. In considering the first mode, an inquiry would arise, whether, under the existing circumstances of affairs, the United States have a clear right, consistently with the principles of justice and the laws of nature, to proceed to the destruction or expulsion of the savages.... The Indians being the prior occupants, possess the right of the soil. It cannot be taken from them unless by their free consent, or by the right of conquest in case of a. just war. To dispossess them on any other principle, would be a gross violation of the fundamental laws of nature, and of that distributive justice which is the glory of a nation. But if it should be decided, on an abstract view of the situation, to remove by force the ... Indians from the territory they occupy, the finances of the United States would not at present…

    At that time, Virginia was from Jamestown to the mouth of the Hudson River, so they traveled to present-day New York. There they hoped to live under the English government, but be able to have a free religion. Founded by a group of Separatists at first known as the Brownist Emigration and Anglicans, who later on became known as the Pilgrims, the Plymouth Colony was one of the most successful colonies. Sadly, they did not have the money to start their own village. The pilgrims were desperate. They entered an agreement with financial investors. The company of investors would allow the colonists to sail to North America and give them much-needed supplies. To pay back, the colonists would have to work for the company and send resources back to England. All assets, including the land and the Pilgrims’ houses, would belong to the company until the end of seven years. After that, all of the assets would be divided among each of the investors and colonists. The colonists and investors had many quarrels amongst each other, but eventually the Pilgrims were able to leave Europe to go to…

    When English colonists first arrived to the New World, the Native American Indians were curious yet kind to these “white men”. However, as time passed the colonists’ hunger for more land grew stronger. They began to take advantage of the Indians by signing treaties that were not completely understood by the natives. Consequently, a brave Indian took upon the initiative to protect their properties. Tecumseh, leader of the Shawnee, began his quest to put a stop to American greed by uniting the molested tribes to defend their lands.…

    The Reformation was the driving force behind English Catholic dissenters, many of which would eventually form the base of groups heading for new lands to find religious freedom. These people would come to be called Puritans and their goal was to purify the Church of England. They wanted to do away with the “offensive” features such as Church hierarchy and traditional rituals of Catholic worship in order to promote a relationship between the individual and his relationship with God. Through English rulers King Henry the VIII to Elisabeth I to King James, the Puritans never really found a strong foothold for their practices. When King James’ son, Charles I came into power, a ruler that was strongly anti-Puritan and enforced conformity to the Church of England, Puritans began making plans to escape the persecution in England for the new world where they hoped to build new colonies to practice their faiths. Two of these groups, one to land at Plymouth and another to arrive at Massachusetts Bay, were prime examples of Puritans seeking to find a new life outside of England (or more specifically, the Church of England.)…

    Two of the many selections that I have appointed were Olaudah Equiano, and Plymouth Plantation. The writers’ interest of oppression for Olaudah Equiano would simply have to be because they were slaves. The writer described how the voyage that they were forced upon was, and how their living quarters were. They also described in harsh detail what it meant to be galled from being harshly beaten with whips, chains, etc.”The shrieks of women, and the groans of the dying, rendered the whole a scene of horror almost inconceivable.” The results of oppression in this selection result upon slaves being beaten to death, die from disease, or some even take their own life by jumping off of the ship. Some women who had children would not only take their…

    In 1620, Separatists from the Anglican Church called Pilgrims set out for the New World on the Mayflower. It was a move to get away from religious intolerance in England and the bad living style in Holland. Once they landed, having landed in the wrong place they made the Mayflower Compact. It was a document saying there would equal laws and make decisions for the good of the colony. And William Bradford was chosen to be the first…

    When the Pilgrims crossed the Atlantic Ocean in 1620, they landed on the rocky shores of a territory that was inhabited by the Wampanoag (Wam pa NO ag) Indians. The Wampanoags were part of the Algonkian-speaking peoples, a large group that was part of the Woodland Culture area. These Indians lived in villages along the coast of what is now Massachusetts and Rhode Island. They lived in round- roofed houses called wigwams. These were made of poles covered with flat sheets of elm or birch bark. Wigwams differ in construction from tipis that were used by Indians of the Great Plains.…

    Early Americans as depicted in William Bradford’s primary source document Of Plymouth Plantation (1640), were God-fearing, compassionate, christians who traveled from Old England to Early America were faced with disease, sickness, hunger, weather, and Indians. The Puritans that traveled there spread the word of god with the Indians and built a place of worship. While, The Scarlet Letter (1850), by Nathaniel Hawthorne portrays these traditional Puritans as: harsh, judgmental, religion based, do everything by the book (in this case, the Bible). Their town was rustic and grim with the prison being the first to be built with spikes on the door. After a young woman by the name of Hester Prinn committed adultery, she was forced to wear the letter “A” on her chest as a form of public shame for the rest of her life. This letter represented the crime she committed. The audience meant for Bradford’s text was for Old England Europeans and other Puritans, while the audience for Hawthorne's novel was for a 19th century audience.…
