history SUMMARY

At the beginning of the 17th century, a group of English Protestants, called Puritans (aka Pilgrims), wanted to break away from the Church of England. The group moved to Holland but suffered financial problems there.In 1620, they received funds from English merchants and a group of 101 people, including women and children left in a small ship called the Mayflower in September to settle at a different place near present-day New York City. After a tiring journey of 66 days, the group dropped anchor near Cape Cod, far north of their intended destination, at the mouth of the Hudson River. One month later, the Puritans sailed through Massachusetts Bay and began the work of setting up a village at Plymouth. However, the visitors spent their first winter on the ship. Historians say that half of the settlers died of cold and a contagious disease on the ship. In March, the remaining settlers moved to the nearby coastal area, which was then inhabited by many Native American tribes. One day, Samoset, a leader of the local Abenaki people, and Squanto visited the settlers. Squanto, who belonged to the local Wampanoag community, knew English, and taught the Puritans, weakened by malnutrition and illness, how to cultivate corn, extract sap from maple trees, catch fish in the rivers and avoid poisonous plants. His teachings are a crucial part of the thanksgiving, as it shows the importance of friendship and learning from one another. After several meetings, in March 1621, a formal agreement for mutual cooperation was made between the native people and the settlers, and this is a testament to the spirit of unity and cooperation, showing how different communities can come together in harmony.

Complete summary

SQUanto

Squanto was a Native American from the Patuxet tribe. He had a very interesting life story.Before the Pilgrims came to America, Squanto was captured and taken to England. There, he learned to speak English. After some time, he returned to his homeland. When the Pilgrims arrived, Squanto was one of the few Native Americans who could speak English. He helped the Pilgrims by teaching them how to grow food and survive in their new home. He played a big role in bringing the Native Americans and Pilgrims together for the first Thanksgiving.

THE VOYAGE

1620

A company in London agreed to help pay for the Separatists’ voyage to North America. On September 16, 1620, a group of 35 Separatists and 67 other English settlers left Plymouth, England, aboard the Mayflower. The group included men, women, and children. The voyage took 66 days. On November 21, 1620, the Mayflower landed on Cape Cod, in what is now Massachusetts. The Pilgrims had meant to land in what is now New York, but storms had pushed the ship off course. In December 1620 the Pilgrims chose a place to settle. They named it Plymouth, after the starting point of their journey. Tradition says that the Pilgrims went ashore at Plymouth Rock on December 26.

The first Thanksgiving was in 1621

NOW It is celebrated on the fourth Thursday of November.

THE PILGRIM FATHERS

A pilgrim is someone who travels to a foreign place, sometimes for religious reasons. In U.S. history, the group of people called the Pilgrims were the founders of Plymouth Colony in 1620. Plymouth was the second English colony in North America, after Jamestown. Later colonists called them the Old Comers or the Forefathers. They were not known as the Pilgrims until the 1800s. About one-third of the Pilgrims who left England for North America were Separatist Puritans. Puritans were Christians who wanted to “purify,” or simplify, the Church of England. Some Puritans, called Separatists, broke away from that official church. Afraid of being forced to rejoin the church, a group of Separatists moved to the Netherlands in 1608. But soon they decided to settle in North America. There, they imagined, they could practice their religion freely and build fuller lives.

PLYMOUTH COLONY

The Pilgrims suffered greatly during their first winter in Plymouth. They slept on the Mayflower as they built houses. But the weather was cold, food supplies were low, and many became ill. By the spring of 1621, more than half of the group had died. The first Native person to approach the colony was Samoset, an Abenaki leader. He brought the Pilgrims into contact with the Wampanoag people. He also introduced them to Squanto. Both men spoke some English. Squanto helped Plymouth’s first governor, John Carver, to arrange a peace treaty between the English and the Wampanoag. Squanto also helped the settlers to plant corn. In the fall of 1621, the harvest was good. To celebrate, the roughly 50 surviving Pilgrims held a feast. In addition to harvested grains and vegetables, they prepared seafood and fowl—ducks, geese, and possibly turkey. They were probably surprised when a group of about 90 Wampanoag arrived. But the Wampanoag offered to share their deer meat, and the groups spent time together peacefully for three days. This event became known as the first THANKSGIVING.
