The Mayflower: A Journey into the Unknown

The Mayflower: A Journey into the Unknown

November: USA


In September 1620, the Mayflower left England for North America with 102 passengers, including English Separatists seeking religious freedom.

After a difficult 66-day journey across the Atlantic, they arrived in present-day Massachusetts.

Before landing, some passengers signed the Mayflower Compact, an agreement that established rules for their new community.

The first winter was difficult, and many settlers died.

The following spring, the Wampanoag people helped them grow local crops and survive.

The Mayflower story is an important part of American history, but we should also remember the Indigenous peoples who already lived there.

The word of the day:  settle /ˈsetl/

Meaning: to start living in a new place

Example: The Pilgrims settled in Plymouth in 1620.
