  2. Pilgrims: The Mayflower Compact and Plymouth

  3. The Pilgrims Leave England • In 1607, a group of English Separatists, known as Pilgrims, moved to Holland to escape persecution from the Church of England • Separatists- wanted to SEPARATE Church of England • After a while, they became unhappy in Holland as well and asked the Virginia Company for a charter to America.

  5. From Virginia to Plymouth, Massachusetts • In 1620, the Pilgrims set sail for Virginia on the Mayflower, but a storm blew them to Massachusetts. Oops… • What possible problems might they encounter? • They named their new settlement Plymouth.

  6. The Mayflower Compact • Since they landed outside of the limits of the charter, it did not apply anymore. • The Pilgrims developed the Mayflower Compact as a way to create laws. • It was a social contract to make laws for the benefitof the whole settlement. • Do you think it was a good idea to create this? Why or why not?

  7. Pilgrims’ First Winter • Just like the settlers at Jamestown, the Pilgrims went through a starving time. • More than half of the settlers died during the first winter. • Native American Help • Samoset and Squanto were Native Americans who had learned to speak English from European fishermen. • They acted as interpreters between the Pilgrims and the Wampanoags (their tribe). • They helped negotiate a peace treaty and showed the Pilgrims how to plant, hunt, and fish.

  8. The First Thanksgiving • In the fall, the settlers celebrated the blessings of their good harvest by having a three day feast. • This became known as the first Thanksgiving. • Officially made a holiday by president Lincoln in 1863 • That feast came to represent the peace that existed between the settlers and the Indians at the time.
