Their leadership came from the religious congregations of Brownist English Dissenters who had fled the volatile political environment in the East Midlands of England for the relative calm and tolerance of Holland in the Netherlands. Concerned with losing their cultural identity, the group later arranged with English investors to establish a new colony in North America. The colony, established in 1620, became the second successful English settlement (after the founding of Jamestown, Virginia, in 1607) and later the oldest continuously inhabited British settlement in what was to become the United States of America. The Pilgrims' story of seeking religious freedom has become a central theme of the history and culture of the United States. History Separatists in Scrooby The core of the group that would come to be known as the Pilgrims were brought together by a common belief in the ideas promoted by Richard Clyfton, a Brownist parson at All Saints' Parish Church in Babworth, Nottinghamshire, between 1586 and 1605.

American Traditions: Thanksgiving On the fourth Thursday of November, American families gather for a mid-day feast and to watch football, TV specials, and parades. Distinctive Thanksgiving foods in- clude a roasted turkey, sweet potatoes, cranberry sauces, and pumpkin pie. During the meal, many families express gratitude for positive things in their lives. Made an official holiday by Abraham Lincoln in 1884, Thanksgiving Day commemorates feasts shared in the 17th Century by early pilgrims and Native Americans. The feasts are said to have served to give thanks to God for a good harvest and for the Native Americans’ agricultural teachings. There exists some controversy regarding the holiday, as some feel that it ignores the brutal treatment of the Native Ameri- cans by early settlers. Remember that a vast majority of stores and restaurants will be closed completely or part of the day on the Thanksgiving day, so be sure to get all the essential items in advance. Before going to the store or the restaurant, call them and make sure they will be open. Things to do on Thanksgiving: Cook: The traditional thanksgiving dinner consists of Turkey served with mashed potatoes, carrots, and Brussels sprouts, with a dessert such as Pecan or Pumpkin pie.
