<span style="color: rgb(111, 13, 201)"><span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive">The Pilgrims are a group of people who separated from the church of England. They were called English Separatists. They left on a voyage towards Virginia on a ship. The Pilgrims were the first group to want their own government. They were intelligent about how to live on new land so they survived easily. ==<span style="color: rgb(111, 13, 201)"><span style="color: rgb(104, 22, 167)"><span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive"><span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive"><span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive"><span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive"><span style="font-family: Impact,Charcoal,sans-serif"><span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; color: rgb(111, 13, 201)">Before the Voyage       ==

They wanted religious freedom so they didn't have to belong to a church that they didn't believe in. When they got to Holland the Dutch didn't interfere with their religion and they loved living there. There was only one problem, all of the children that were born there started speaking Dutch and the parents couldn't understand anything they said. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive">They thought that it would be good to go on a voyage to Virginia and start a new colony. In Virginia they would be able to speak their own language. In 1619, The London Company agreed to pay for the voyage since most of the Pilgrims were just poor merchants anyway. On September 20, 1620, Pilgrims and other settlers left on the Mayflower from Plymouth, England. They were headed towards Virginia.

They left on two ships, the Speedwell and the Mayflower. Other than the 35 pilgrims that went on the trip, 66 others that weren't Pilgrims were on the voyage too. There was a total of 101 passengers. Most of them were placed on the Mayflower. ===<span style="color: rgb(111, 13, 201)"><span style="color: rgb(104, 22, 167)"><span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive"><span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive"><span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive"><span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive"><span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive"><span style="font-family: Impact,Charcoal,sans-serif"><span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; color: rgb(111, 13, 201)">Voyage Across the Ocean        === <span style="color: rgb(104, 22, 167)"><span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive"><span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive"><span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive"><span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive"><span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive"><span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive"><span style="font-family: Impact,Charcoal,sans-serif"><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 104)"><span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive"><span style="color: rgb(111, 13, 201)">At the beginning of the voyage across the Atlantic,it was all going smoothly. However, a while into the trip they passed through some bad storms. One of the storms caused a main beam to break. The Pilgrims <span style="color: rgb(111, 13, 201)">considered turning back. They decided to continue on because they found a large metal screw to fix the beam with. During the voyage one passenger died and one child was born. Instead of landing where they wanted to, they landed a little north of The London Company's territory. ===<span style="color: rgb(111, 13, 201)"><span style="color: rgb(111, 13, 201)"><span style="color: rgb(104, 22, 167)"><span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive"><span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive"><span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive"><span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive"><span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive"><span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive"><span style="font-family: Impact,Charcoal,sans-serif"><span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; color: rgb(111, 13, 201)">Arrival          === <span style="color: rgb(104, 22, 167)"><span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive"><span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive"><span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive"><span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive"><span style="font-family: Impact,Charcoal,sans-serif"><span style="color: rgb(111, 13, 201)"><span style="color: rgb(111, 13, 201)"><span style="color: rgb(12, 13, 12)">  <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive"><span style="color: rgb(111, 13, 201)"><span style="color: rgb(111, 13, 201)"><span style="color: rgb(111, 13, 201)"><span style="color: rgb(193, 26, 71)"><span style="color: rgb(230, 25, 119)"><span style="color: rgb(111, 13, 201)"><span style="color: rgb(236, 14, 104)"><span style="color: rgb(111, 13, 201)">Land was sighted some time between November 10 and November 20.

By December, most of the settlers had a bad cough or the Scurvy. It was starting to get cold outside and 47% of the Pilgrims died. One day some colonists were walking around on the shore and saw some native people walking around. When the native americans saw the colonists they ran. The next morning the settlers woke to native americans with their bows and arrows pointed at them. The colonists got their weapns to protect themselves and they chased the native americans into the woods and didn't see them again for a few months. An Indian named Squanto stayed with them from March 1621 to November 1622. He helped them learn how to fish and plant crops. He also helped them build warmer houses. If it wasn't for Squanto all of the Pilgrims might have died. <span style="color: rgb(249, 26, 113)"> <span style="color: rgb(111, 13, 201)">
