"We whose names are under-written, the loyal subjects of our dread sovereign Lord, King James." The Pilgrims successfully evaded the religious strangle upon them, creating small religious groups and settling in a Plymouth

Then were aiming to settle around the Chesapeake bay area near Jamestown, but ended up by the Cape Cod bay area where they settled in Plymouth.]]> 2020-10-01 16:34:06 UTC https://padlet.com/kirruf231_1/hdlfcjpizlvzewzu/wish/795377613 Introduction wilbro231_1 https://padlet.com/kirruf231_1/hdlfcjpizlvzewzu/wish/795401540  
The Pilgrims sought out new land with the goal of reaching religious freedom from the Anglican Church, as well as social freedom from the ruling of King James in England. The Pilgrims goal was to come to land near Jamesburg, Virginia where the economy  was strong due to the large growth of tobacco. While traveling the pilgrims ended up landing in Plymouth, Massachusetts just north of Boston.

This was due to a variety of factors. They were not used to the geography and environment, and as a result, when winter came, they had inadequate resources, nutrition, and housing to support their colony. Thus, more than half of their settlers died in the first winter. Without the proper infrastructure in place, due largely to the fact that they weren’t used to the geography and environment, the first winter caused more than half of their community to die. This wasn’t the only reason it was a failure, however. The Pilgrim's relationship with the Native Americans wasn’t good as well. While it started off strong, with them sharing a meal with the Native Americans(this is believed to have started the tradition of thanksgiving), relationships between the two groups quickly deteriorated, eventually resulting in a war called King Phillips war between the two that would leave many dead on both sides. There were other factors too, however. The Pilgrims failed to set up a function and stable economy because of a variety of reasons ranging from the costs of King Philip's War to the splintering of the colony into multiple different communities. This cost the Pilgrims the ability to have a strong foothold in America. And finally, another reason the Pilgrims failed to establish a strong foothold in America is that they failed to stay together as a community. After a few years, prominent members of the original Pilgrims left the colony to form their own community, which meant the PIlgrims weren’t able to establish a strong foothold. Eventually, Plymouth was absorbed into the larger entity of Massachusetts. In conclusion, the original Pilgrims were not very successful in their colonization efforts and didn’t establish a strong foothold in America because of their inability to adapt to the geography and environment, their failure in setting up a stable economy, their bad relationship with the Native Americans, and their splintering community.  ]]> 2020-10-01 16:55:06 UTC https://padlet.com/kirruf231_1/hdlfcjpizlvzewzu/wish/795475136 kirruf231_1 https://padlet.com/kirruf231_1/hdlfcjpizlvzewzu/wish/795491335 2020-10-01 16:58:29 UTC https://padlet.com/kirruf231_1/hdlfcjpizlvzewzu/wish/795491335
