Mayflower

uly 1620, the Mayflower left England and we all thought that there was hope again. After a while, on the Mayflower, it was an absolute nightmare because the ship started to have a rancid smell, everyone was either starving to death, or dying because of diseases. After ,what seemed like forever, we finally landed on land.

It all started with a group of roughly 100 men and women who originated from England known as the Pilgrims.

Both sides were at fault for specific incidents which caused outbreak and a weaker relationship. However, the next generation Natives and Pilgrims such as King Philip, Alexander, and the young Pilgrims were most

The perception of the American Dream is different for every American. In the two novels Mayflower by Nathaniel Philbrick and American Dreams by H.W. Brands, both the genesis and evolution of the American Dream are discussed. For many, freedom, success and peace are things to strive for. From the birth of our country in the settlement of Plymouth to present day, Americans are still dreaming. Even before the Pilgrims had arrived in America, they had dreams for what was to become of their new lives

PBS Desperate Crossings: the Untold Story of the Mayflower After watching the movie, I have a better understanding of Martin Luther’s sermons, English Reformation, as well as the Puritans and Separatists. Puritans simply want to change their lives and make it better; whereas, Separatists say they should not have a church in England; one that connects with the civil power.
