Communal Experiment
1621-1623
“For this community was found to breed much confusion and discontent, and retard much employment that would have been to their benefit and comfort. For young men that were most able and fit for labor and service did repine that they should spend their time and strength to work for other men’s wives and children without any recompense…that was thought injustice.” William Bradford Competitive Experiment

“This had very good success, for it made all hands industrious, so as much more corn was planted than otherwise would have been.”
