Pilgrims and Puritans Religious tensions in England remained high after the Protestant Reformation. A Protestant group called the Puritans wanted to purify, or reform, the Anglican Church. The Puritans thought that the bishops and priests had too much power over church members. Pilgrims on the Move The most extreme Protestants wanted to separate from the Church of England. These Separatists formed their own churches and cut all ties with the Church of England. In response, Anglican leaders began to punish Separatists. The Pilgrimswere one Separatist group that left England in the early 1600s to escape persecution. The Pilgrims moved to the Netherlands in 1608. The Pilgrims were immigrants —people who have left the country of their birth to live in another country. The Pilgrims were glad to be able to practice their religion freely. They were not happy, however, that their children were learning the Dutch language and culture. The Pilgrims feared that their children would forget their English traditions. The Pilgrims decided to leave Europe altogether. They formed a joint stock company with some merchants and then received permission from England to settle in Virginia . On September 16, 1620, a ship called the Mayflower left England with more than 100 men women, and children aboard. Not all of these colonists were Pilgrims. However, Pilgrim leaders such as William Bradford sailed with the group. The Mayflower Compact After two months of rough ocean travel, the Pilgrims sighted land far north of Virginia. The Pilgrims knew that they would thus be outside the authority of Virginia's colonial government when they landed. Their charter would not apply. So, they decided to establish their own basic laws and social rules to govern the colony they would found. On November 21, 1620, 41 of the male passengers on the ship signed the Mayflower Compact , a legal contract in which they agreed to have fair laws to protect the general good. The Compact represents one of the first attempts at selfgovernment in the English colonies. In late 1620the Pilgrims landed at Plymouth Rock in present day Massachusetts. The colonists struggled through the winter. Nearly half died during this first winter from sickness and the freezing weather, but the colony became the first permanent European colony in New England.
Pilgrims and Native Americans In March 1621 a Native American named Samosetwalked boldly into the colonists settlement. He spoke in broken English. Samoset had learned some English from the crews of English fishing boats. He gave the Pilgrims useful information about the peoples and places of the area. He also introduced them to a Patuxet Indian named Squanto . Squanto had at one time lived in Europe and spoke English as well. From Squanto the Pilgrims learned to fertilize the soil with fish remains. Squanto also helped the Pilgrims establish relations with the local Wampanoag Indians.
