    Mayflower Compac, By Nathaniel Philbrick: Summary

    When thinking about the name Mayflower it usually brings images of people in big hats and buckled shoes having Thanksgiving with some Indians; evoking memories of your history classes in elementary school. This isn’t the whole truth as Nathaniel Philbrick goes in deeper to what the relationship between the Pilgrims and Natives were really like. In the 1620s, English Puritans left England to the New World for the desire to seek religious freedom. They were a group of people unaware what will greet them across the vast, open ocean; taking their chances knowing the journey would prove both costly and frustrating. The English puritans arrived in Cape Cod after being blown north of their intended course, many people had gotten the plague due to close living conditions and low food supply on the ship.…

    THe Mayflower Compacts signifigance

    The Mayflower Compact was the principle ideal of the Pilgrims and was also the government set type for them and future generations. The Compact was written on the ship named Mayflower, hence the name Mayflower Compact, and all of the people aboard were bound to it. Furthermore, it was only the second government system to be established by the Europeans in North America, with only Jamestown being established beforehand. As a result of this, the Mayflower Compact has a big significance in American History, because it established a government where religion was not a central factor in it.…

    Jamestown Research Paper

    When the English settlers founded Jamestown in 1607, slaves were not being used anywhere in America. The Jamestown settlement was very important for the English because it started a continuous English presence in America. The original goal of the settlers was to spread christianity to the native communities(Johnson 23). After a while, the English discovered that tobacco could be easily produced in the Americas and they quickly began producing it in mass. Due to Jamestown’s mass production of tobacco, slaves were needed to work on plantations which ultimately led to chattel slavery spreading throughout the country(Johnson 27). The progression of slavery in America had three sections: The discovery of tobacco, the need for slaves to grow tobacco and other colonies adapting to the newly found slave labor, and without Jamestown…

    American Westward Migration Thesis

    American Westward migration during the nineteenth century was a difficult journey for various reasons. Emotionally many of the migrants were leaving the majority of their friends, family and belongings behind. Additionally there was the stress of having to lighten the load by walking the journey or leaving behind precious belongings along the way. Emigrants traveled in wagon trains banded together with other single men heading to gold rushes, or in groups of extended family and neighbors. The hardships of the journey stressed those traveling and added to fears from reported attacks, disease and many other disasters imagined and real. {THESIS STATEMENT:?}Disease was a major part of American life, and while it affected life on the overland trails,…

It was performed by the Professional Play Group and directed by Bob Tomson and Bill Kenwright.

Before attending the performance I already knew the story line however I was intrigued as to how they could perform the play themselves. I personally thought the play was performed very well and it was as if you were emotionally attached to the characters.…
