Book The Plymouth Colony  The Pilgrims Settle in Massachusetts

Download or read book The Plymouth Colony The Pilgrims Settle in Massachusetts written by Kathleen Tracy and published by Mitchell Lane Publishers, Inc.. This book was released on 2010-12-23 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1620, one hundred two Puritans boarded the Mayflower on a dangerous adventure. For them, the promise of religious freedom was worth risking their lives. They never made it to their destination in Virginia but landed much farther north. After surviving unsanitary and cramped conditions on the Mayflower, the settlers founded Plymouth Colony, where they faced starvation, brutal winter weather, and the ever-present scourge of disease. During the first year, more than half the settlers died. Survivors, many of them teenagers who had lost their parents, refused to leave. With the help of Native Americans who showed the settlers how to farm and introduced them to maize, Plymouth Colony survived and flourished. The success of the Puritans encouraged other young Europeans to settle in the British colonies and paved the way for a new nation. Although Plymouth Colony was annexed to Massachusetts in 1691, the Puritan legacy has remained strong in the United States of America.

Book They Knew They Were Pilgrims

Download or read book They Knew They Were Pilgrims written by John G. Turner and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2020-04-07 with total page 460 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An ambitious new history of the Pilgrims and Plymouth Colony, published for the 400th anniversary of the Mayflower’s landing In 1620, separatists from the Church of England set sail across the Atlantic aboard the Mayflower. Understanding themselves as spiritual pilgrims, they left to preserve their liberty to worship God in accordance with their understanding of the Bible. There exists, however, an alternative, more dispiriting version of their story. In it, the Pilgrims are religious zealots who persecuted dissenters and decimated the Native peoples through warfare and by stealing their land. The Pilgrims’ definition of liberty was, in practice, very narrow. Drawing on original research using underutilized sources, John G. Turner moves beyond these familiar narratives in his sweeping and authoritative new history of Plymouth Colony. Instead of depicting the Pilgrims as otherworldly saints or extraordinary sinners, he tells how a variety of English settlers and Native peoples engaged in a contest for the meaning of American liberty.

Book History of the Plymouth and Massachusetts Bay Colonies

Download or read book History of the Plymouth and Massachusetts Bay Colonies written by Doug West and published by . This book was released on 2020-03-24 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Plymouth and Massachusetts Bay Colonies were founded by adventuresome individuals with strong religious convictions. Puritans who settled in what is now the state of Massachusetts sought a place where they could practice their religion free from persecution as well as make a living. Both groups of settlers in America agreed that the Anglican Church needed to be "purified" and that each congregation should govern itself. The Pilgrims who settled the Plymouth Colony were more radical separatists who wanted to break away from the Church of England. In contrast, those that settled the Massachusetts Bay Colony were less radical and more numerous, they sought to reform the Anglican Church from within, not separate from it.Journeying from their home in England to their new home on the northeastern shore of America was a voyage of over three thousand miles across a virtually uncharted and dangerous ocean. Though many would perish on the voyage that took months, they spent most of their time below deck huddled with their fellow travelers and livestock in dark and dank quarters, yet they kept coming in search of freedom and opportunity. These brave adventurers established two colonies that would grow and prosper over the centuries to become the state of Massachusetts and much of the New England region. We owe much to these early forefathers of America, an educational system, a representative form of government, and the dream that with hard work and determination one can build a brighter future.The book "History of the Plymouth and Massachusetts Bay Colonies" gives a concise look at the formation and early years of the Plymouth and Massachusetts Bay Colonies. To illustrate the story there are numerous pictures of the people, places, and events that were part of this adventure. In addition, a list of reference books for further reading is included.
