Pilgrims and Puritans

Pilgrims settled in Plymouth.
The Pilgrims were a group who separated from the Church of English.
They sailed in America on September 1620 by Mayflower.

Mayflower Compact was the first governing document of Plymouth Colony.

They faced troubles: no food, cold climate, diseases, so half of them died .

Wampanoag, a Native American tribe helped them survived.
They taught them how to grow plants, hunt animals, and fishing.

In the fall of 1621, Pilgrims celebrated surviving one full years and held a three-day harvest festival, which now is called Thanksgiving.

Puritans came after Pilgrims.
They came seeking religious freedom. They want to make The Church of England more pure.
They set up the Massachusetts Bay Colony, and began to settle in and around Boston
