Settling in New England: Pilgrims, Native American Assistance, and Early Conflicts

The early settlers of New England, particularly the Pilgrims, faced significant hardships during their first winter, with nearly half succumbing to malnutrition and disease. Key figures such as Squanto and Samoset from the Pawtuxet tribe played a crucial role in their survival, teaching them essential agricultural practices and hunting techniques. A treaty with Wampanoag leader Massasoit fostered harmonious relations initially, but tensions would later arise. This chapter explores the reasons for colonization, the impact of Native American aid, and the concept of dissent within the early colonies.
