The Voyage of the Mayflower and Early New England Settlements

This chapter explores the significant historical events surrounding the Voyage of the Mayflower in 1620, when Pilgrims left England seeking religious freedom. Following the establishment of the Church of England, some Puritans sought to reform it from within, while others, known as Pilgrims, aimed to create a more pure form of worship in America. After arriving in Massachusetts, they established Plymouth Colony with the Mayflower Compact. The chapter further discusses the struggles of the early settlers, interactions with Native Americans, and the societal challenges faced by Puritan leaders, including notable figures like Roger Williams and Anne Hutchinson.
