Of Plymouth Plantation
Of Plymouth Plantation Traveled on mayflower from England to get to America and spread religion. Another ship broke down so they let those onto their ship. One guy was impure because he was making fun of them for being sick. He planned to throw those people overboard but he died of sickness himself and the England men tossed him over instead. They believed it was Gods doing for him not being pure. Ship had started to leak as the weather got bad. All of them decided to talk to the captain and ask why they were continuing when their ship was broken. They guys on the ship that are made to fix the ship believed it was ok to keep going after fixing some things. They took sails down due to wind hurting the ship. They believed if God wanted this voyage he would take them on their way. A guy fell over and grabbed a sail, so they believed God was saving him. Overall only few died which is good because of all the diseases going around. They got to Cape Cod (New York) but couldn’t get off due to rocks so they turned around and ended up in Huston River. They again believed God would get them there. They got to Cape Harbor finally and kissed the land thanking God.
Sensa was someone who traveled before them and said he’d rather travel by land. A guy said think of what we went through for this and we have nothing. They believed the Natives (barbarians, Indians) would help and they would be welcomed with riches, homes and food but were actually being shot at by what they called the beasts (Natives.) They were upset they didn’t even have a mountain to look over nor did they know of how many Indians there were.
A shalap is a smaller ship carried by the big ship. Their shalap was beat up so they needed to fix it. They believed it wouldn’t be fixed soon so they decided to go by foot to river they could see far away. They captain set 16 of them out in the wilderness, all armed, to see what’s out there. None of them knew where or how many Indians there were. They saw

    External Conflict In William Bradford's Of Plymouth Plantation

    “Of Plymouth Plantation” by William Bradford is history about the founding of the Massachusetts Bay Colony and the lives of the Puritan colonists. He was a Puritan who sailed to Plymouth. He began to attend meetings of small group of Nonconformists and later, he joined them. The Nonconformists sailed to find land where they can be free to worship and live according to their own beliefs. After several years, William Bradford became governor of Plymouth Colony, and he was elected as a governor at least thirty times. During the sailing, and after arrived at Plymouth, there were several conflicts shown as internal and external.…

    Early Americans In William Bradford's Of Plymouth Plantation

    Early Americans as depicted in William Bradford’s primary source document Of Plymouth Plantation (1640), were God-fearing, compassionate, christians who traveled from Old England to Early America were faced with disease, sickness, hunger, weather, and Indians. The Puritans that traveled there spread the word of god with the Indians and built a place of worship. While, The Scarlet Letter (1850), by Nathaniel Hawthorne portrays these traditional Puritans as: harsh, judgmental, religion based, do everything by the book (in this case, the Bible). Their town was rustic and grim with the prison being the first to be built with spikes on the door. After a young woman by the name of Hester Prinn committed adultery, she was forced to wear the letter “A” on her chest as a form of public shame for the rest of her life. This letter represented the crime she committed. The audience meant for Bradford’s text was for Old England Europeans and other Puritans, while the audience for Hawthorne's novel was for a 19th century audience.…

    Plymouth and Massachusetts Bay Colonies

    The Reformation was the driving force behind English Catholic dissenters, many of which would eventually form the base of groups heading for new lands to find religious freedom. These people would come to be called Puritans and their goal was to purify the Church of England. They wanted to do away with the “offensive” features such as Church hierarchy and traditional rituals of Catholic worship in order to promote a relationship between the individual and his relationship with God. Through English rulers King Henry the VIII to Elisabeth I to King James, the Puritans never really found a strong foothold for their practices. When King James’ son, Charles I came into power, a ruler that was strongly anti-Puritan and enforced conformity to the Church of England, Puritans began making plans to escape the persecution in England for the new world where they hoped to build new colonies to practice their faiths. Two of these groups, one to land at Plymouth and another to arrive at Massachusetts Bay, were prime examples of Puritans seeking to find a new life outside of England (or more specifically, the Church of England.)…

    Letter to the Colonists

    Enough talking about how good life is here, now let me tell you about these native Indians. First of all, I have noticed they are getting sick and dying off. I don’t understand why their people are being devastated by these diseases. The diseases have clearly helped us gain more land without having to fight them in long battles. We are trying to teach them about Christianity and religion, though they have their own beliefs. I have also noticed these native people didn’t know about most of the animals we have back home. They also have no clue of what a farm is, so we are going to teach them how to domesticate animals and grow crops in farm plots. Well papa, I’m running out of ink, let me know if you’re coming so I can make arrangements to get you some land to start off with.…

    Olaudah Equiano And Plymouth Plantation Analysis

    Two of the many selections that I have appointed were Olaudah Equiano, and Plymouth Plantation. The writers’ interest of oppression for Olaudah Equiano would simply have to be because they were slaves. The writer described how the voyage that they were forced upon was, and how their living quarters were. They also described in harsh detail what it meant to be galled from being harshly beaten with whips, chains, etc.”The shrieks of women, and the groans of the dying, rendered the whole a scene of horror almost inconceivable.” The results of oppression in this selection result upon slaves being beaten to death, die from disease, or some even take their own life by jumping off of the ship. Some women who had children would not only take their…

    John Smith Of Plymouth Plantation Analysis

    After the New World was discovered in the sixteenth century, England began a campaign to colonize what is now the East coast of the United States. In 1607, John Smith arrived in the New World and began an English colony called Jamestown. A little more than ten years later, in 1620, William Bradford was the governor of Plymouth, another colony. You would be hard pressed to find another example in history where two very different men accomplished the same goal. One man was a veteran soldier and a daring adventurer, while the other was the leader of a new denomination of Christianity, and yet both ended up governing colonies. The best way to see the difference between these two men is to examine their writings about the New World. Their language, style, and even point of view illustrate the difference between the two. Both, however, had a striking similarity, and it was that similarity which led to each one’s success.…

    Plymouth Thanksgiving Story

    When the Pilgrims crossed the Atlantic Ocean in 1620, they landed on the rocky shores of a territory that was inhabited by the Wampanoag (Wam pa NO ag) Indians. The Wampanoags were part of the Algonkian-speaking peoples, a large group that was part of the Woodland Culture area. These Indians lived in villages along the coast of what is now Massachusetts and Rhode Island. They lived in round- roofed houses called wigwams. These were made of poles covered with flat sheets of elm or birch bark. Wigwams differ in construction from tipis that were used by Indians of the Great Plains.…
