In his book, Philbrick charts out the experiences of the Pilgrims as they were on their search for the New World. He begins by highlighting the main motive behind such a dangerous voyage. The Pilgrims simply wanted religious freedom. In order to free themselves from the Catholic Church, they sailed to Leiden, Holland first. Here they enjoyed religious freedom for a little while; however, they soon realized that their children were becoming very Dutch. In order to still have the same religious rights, but also still be legitimately

According to UNHCR, a refugee is someone who has been forced to flee his or her country because of persecution, war, or violence. A refugee has a well-founded fear of persecution for reasons of race, religion, nationality, political opinion or membership in a particular social group. Most likely, they cannot return home or are afraid to do so. War and ethnic, tribal and religious violence are leading causes of refugees fleeing their countries. When people flee their own country, and seek sanctuary in another country, they apply for asylum – the right to be recognized as a refugee and receive legal protection and material assistance. An asylum seeker must demonstrate that his or her fear of persecution in his or her home country is

In conclusion Jamestown and Plymouth both had unique challenges in the early years of colonization. Although both were successful in different aspects, both had problems with famine, and disease which crippled them throughout the beginning of their prospective colonies. Despite their economic hardships, they were both equally important and vital to the future of

Adventure, promises of wealth, and an opportunity to a new life were some of the many reasons which attracted settlers to the Americas. However, what the new settlers did not know were the many challenges and tragedies this new life entailed. Despite all, the colonists of Jamestown would encounter the difficulties of starting a new colony in a foreign new land. The life these settlers found was nothing like they expected. Their hopes for wealth and a new beginning were soon replaced with death and misery. The colonies of the Americas can be seen as a failure because European settlers would come to experience the horrors that the “New World” would give them including famine and diseases.

The pilgrims went to Plymouth in September 1620 in hopes of making a better life for themselves and their children while being able to worship freely and in peace. Among the group were farmers, woodworkers, shopkeepers, blacksmiths, weavers, and servants. There were also people who went for religious reasons. They were going to settle in Cape Cod but the water was too shallow for the ship to go in and out with supplies and there were also too many Indian tribes. The people had the courage, gratitude to God, and love for one another. The story of the Mayflower, the trip across the Atlantic, to the Plymouth Colony with its tragic first winter, the treaty with the Indian tribes and celebrated First Thanksgiving goes down the ages and around the world.

From Poverty to Prosperity: the Comparison of Jamestown and Plymouth Long before what we now call America there was nothing but unequipped pilgrims coming from Europe, and Native Americans. They faced many challenges including harsh climates, diseases that attacked their incognizant immune systems, and Natives who were ready to fight for what was rightfully theirs. Among these colonies two stand out, and while they share a few similarities both are profusely different; Jamestown and Plymouth.

The Plymouth colony had was colonized by Puritans from England. Back in England, the King felt threatened by the Puritans for questioning the church he supports as well as undermining his power, therefore, the King began to persecute the Puritans. In 1608, the Puritans left for the Netherlands where they were able to practice their religion, but after a while, the Puritans were losing their culture and they didn’t like that, so, on September 16, 1620, a ship called the Mayflower left England for the New World/North America. The colonists of Plymouth were 100 men, women, and children. Their leader was William Bradford, even though he wasn’t a Pilgrim. Aboard the Mayflower, 41 passengers signed the Mayflower Compact, a legal contract that agreed to have fair laws to protect the general good. When the Puritans arrived at Plymouth, they built their colony on top of a hill because they believed that on the hill they were closer to God. The Puritans and the Native Americans had a great relationship from the start. They formed an alliance with the Patuxet tribe, and their leader Squanto helped the Puritans with all their survival skills like how to hunt, how to grow food, and how to live off the land. Squanto later introduced the Pilgrims to Chief Massasoit, the chief of the Wampanoag Indians. The Pilgrims invited the Wampanoag Indians to feast with them on all the food they learned how to grow and that was the very first

However, anything was better than staying there. When we got to America, the Virginia Company gave us grants. “The pilgrims were able to get grants of land from the Virginia Company”(Discovering Our Past a History of the United States 65). We could practice our religion freely without being mistreated. Now we can start our new

New England: A Matter of Perspective      John Smith's A Description of New England and William Bradford's Of Plymouth Plantation both present a picture of the same pre-colonial land of New England. Mr. Smith's writing, out of necessity, painted a rosy picture of the new land, while Bradford's historical account shows early New England

A refugee is defined as an individual who has been forced to leave their country due to political or religious reasons, or due to threat of war or violence. There were 19.5 million refugees worldwide at the end of 2014, 14.4 million under the mandate of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), around 2.9 million more than in 2013. The other 5.1 million Palestinian refugees are registered with the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA). With the displacement of so many people, it is difficult to find countries willing to accept all the refugees. There are over 125 different countries that currently host refugees, and with this commitment comes the responsibility of ensuring these refugees have access to

The Pilgrims have some similarities with modern day refugees. In syria and England the people were dealing with persecution. For both it took more than a day to get to their destination. For the Pilgrims it took two months sailing and for Yasser it took three days on foot. They both had help when they reached their destination. The native indians helped the Pilgrims go through the winter and Yasser went into a shelter in Quneitra.
