“Of Plymouth Plantation” by William Bradford “Of Plymouth Plantation” is about his group of

Pilgrims and their arrival at Cape Cod led by William Bradford himself. Half of his company dies from illness during the first winter due to lack of food, lack of warm shelter, and unfriendly encounters with the Native Americans. In the spring, the company meets a Native American who speaks English well named Squanto. Squanto teaches them how to fish, plant food, and how to survive. The Pilgrims make a peace treaty with Massasoit, the chief of a tribe. The story ends with the Pilgrims harvesting their own crops and writing home with lots of good news about the New World. This is the story of the first Thanksgiving.

A New PoPulAtioN

People immigrated to the New World with many different backgrounds

Slaves: Africans brought to the New World to be used as workers on future plantations that settlers would need to survive. The first slave ship to sail across the ocean is named “The Desire”

Others: Merchants, explorers, and other people seeking freedom from England and the English government (Monarchy)

Puritans: a group of people who separated themselves from the Church of England and came to the New World to find religious freedom from England

Puritan Beliefs Human beings are inherently evil and so must struggle

to overcome their sinful nature. Personal salvation depends solely on the grace of God,

not on individual effort. The Bible is the supreme authority on earth.
