Social Studies Chapter 5, Lesson 3 The Plymouth Colony The Pilgrim Voyage King Henry VIII of England left the Roman Catholic Church and set up the Church of England. King Henry VIII punished anyone who did not attend the church he had established. The Pilgrims did not like the rules of the church, so they established their own church. King James I allowed the Pilgrims to settle in Virginia, so they could worship in peace. The London Company paid for their voyage. The pilgrims agreed to pay the company back in lumber and furs. On Board the Mayflower The Pilgrims sailed from Plymouth, England, in September 1620 on the Mayflower. The tiny ship carried 100 people, barrels of bread, salted meat, pigs, chickens, and goats. They landed on Cape Cod in what is now part of New England. A Difficult Winter The Pilgrims write a compact before they left the Mayflower. compact – an agreement The Mayflower Compact was a form of government for the new colony. The Pilgrims agreed to obey all the laws of the colony. Only men signed the compact. Native American Neighbors The Wampanoag Indians lived in the area where the Pilgrims landed. They hunted, farmed, and fished along the coast. sachem- a leader of the Native Americans The sachem of the Wampanoag was Massasoit. Massasoit, Squanto, and Samoset were Wampanoag sachems that saved the Pilgrims’ lives in their first years in New England. The Plymouth Colony The Pilgrims settled in Plymouth. They called their settlement Plymouth Plantations. The first winter many Pilgrims died from disease. The Pilgrims elected Bradford as their new leader. Help Arrives In the spring the Pilgrims began to plant crops. The Pilgrims welcomed Massasoit, Squanto, and Samoset. Massasoit agreed to form a peace treaty with the English because he believed that they would help him against his enemies. Squanto decided to stay on the land with the Pilgrims. He showed them how to plant corn and hunt animals. The Pilgrims began to eat better, and the sickness they experienced during the harsh winter ended. Thanksgiving The Pilgrims had built a colony by autumn. Governor Bradford noticed they started to gather a small harvest from the crops they had planted. The Pilgrims invited Massasoit and 90 of his followers to join them for a great feast to celebrate and give thanks to God for their good fortune. This was known as the first Thanksgiving. A Happy Feast The English and the Wampanoag guests for 3 days. Both groups brought food and showed off their skills. There are similarities and differences between the customs of the English and Wampanoag. They both brought food and showed off their skills. Some differences were the Native Americans and the Pilgrims used different weapons. The Native Americans performed ceremonial dances and sat on the ground to eat. The Pilgrims probably sat on stools at a table. .

Harvest Ceremony BEYOND THE THANK~GIVING MYTH - a study guide Harvest Ceremony BEYOND THE THANKSGIVING MYTH Summary: Native American people who first encountered the “pilgrims” at what is now Plymouth, Massachusetts play a major role in the imagination of American people today. Contemporary celebrations of the Thanksgiving holiday focus on the idea that the “first Thanksgiving” was a friendly gathering of two disparate groups—or even neighbors—who shared a meal and lived harmoniously. In actuality, the assembly of these people had much more to do with political alliances, diplomacy, and an effort at rarely achieved, temporary peaceful coexistence. Although Native American people have always given thanks for the world around them, the Thanksgiving celebrated today is more a combination of Puritan religious practices and the European festival called Harvest Home, which then grew to encompass Native foods. The First People families, but a woman could inherit the position if there was no male heir.

The Mayflower Compact (1620)
The Mayflower Compact (1620) In 1620, the passengers aboard the Mayflower found themselves for nine stormy weeks in the Atlantic Ocean. They were headed for the warm climate and fertile land of the Virginia colony, but they landed instead far to the north of this desired colony. The passengers consisted of a group of 35 Pilgrims— a religious group that had separated from the Church of England—and 70 others. On November 11, 1620, the boat reached Cape Cod, in present-day Massachusetts. The non-Pilgrims claimed that because the ship had not landed in Virginia, the charter for a colony was not valid. Moreover, the non-Pilgrims claimed that they did not have to obey the Pilgrim leaders. In an effort to keep the group together and to maintain order, the Pilgrim leaders drew up the Mayflower Compact. While still on board, most of the adult men in the group signed the document. A month later, the passengers went on land, creating the first permanent English settlement in New England, at Plymouth, Massachusetts. The Mayflower Compact became the basis for government of the Plymouth Colony. The document is remarkable for its time because it created a government of ordinary citizens, not just members of the ruling class. In The Name of God, Amen. We, whose names are underwritten, the Loyal Subjects of our dread [awe- inspiring] Sovereign Lord King James, by the Grace of God, of Great Britain, France, and Ireland, King, defender of the Faith, etc. Having undertaken for the Glory of God, and Advancement of the Christian Faith, and the Honour of our King and Country, a Voyage to plant the first colony in the northern Parts of Virginia; Do .

Mayflower Story.Pdf
OFFICIAL Mayflower Story The Mayflower set sail on 16th September 1620 from Plymouth, UK, to voyage to America, known to English explorers at the time as the New World. But its history and story start long before that. Its passengers were in search of a new life. They would go on to be known as the Pilgrims influencing the future of the United States of America in ways they could never have imagined. This story isn't just about the Mayflower's passengers though. It's about the people who already lived in America such as the Wampanoag tribe and the enormous effect the arrival of these colonists would have on Native Americans and the land they had called home for centuries. The Passengers More than 30 million people, including many celebrities, can trace their ancestry to the 102 passengers and approximately 30 crew aboard the Mayflower when it landed in Plymouth Bay, Massachusetts, in the harsh winter of 1620. On board were men, women and children from different walks of life across England and the city of Leiden, Holland. A significant number were known as Separatists - people who mostly wanted to live free from the current Church of England, under the ruling of Henry VIII, which dictated all aspects of life and to dispute that rule was a path ending in prosecution. Others were on the ship anticipating the chance to build a better future, the opportunity of new land and the offer of freedom and adventure. The passengers are often grouped into ‘Saints’ or ‘Strangers’ by historians, alluding to their motivations for the journey.

It was with the help of a Native American they knew as Squanto that they learned to properly cultivate the land so that they could survive and flourish. All of that might seem quite removed from your own gardening endeavors, however there is much to be learned from those historical lessons. What was the soil like then? How did the soil affect the food being grown? What techniques were used to enrich the soil? Why is it that the Pilgrims, being from a more technologically advanced society, needed the help of the Native Americans to survive? Whether you are an experienced gardener, or just starting out, “Squanto’s Garden” has plenty to teach you.
