Not social studies but history

[@pamelabaldwin3184]

I, too am a descendant. My ancester, John Howland, was famous for falling overboard in a storm while trying to take down a sail. Fortunately he grabbed a line while falling and was pulled back on board. He married a young girl, Elizabeth Tilley, who was also a passenger and who lost her parents in that terrible first winter. They had 10 children, so there are lots of Howland descendants! His son's house (where, I believe, he died) has been preserved in Plymouth and is now open to the public.

[@Jay-lr3me]

Fascinating thanks for sharing! Where are you from?

[@greglane6241]

I too am a descendant of John Howland. My dad has told me that story about 100 times.

[@valerier3673]

I'm a descendant of John Howland. I thought my dad was nuts when he told me that story. I was like "Wait, our grandfather fell off the Mayflower" then I did some more research and found out it is true

[@cloudreaver]

Y’all got some ballsy genes in your bloodline. Respect to your ancestors for establishing the New World 😁👍

The bush’s are descendants of him, as well as Richard Nixon, who is related to Eisenhower by Nixon’s daughter and Eisenhower’s Grandkid marriage.

This story is fascinating - I live in South Buckinghamshire, England. The original Mayflower ship, according to a historian, was broken up and made into a barn called the Mayflower barn, in the village of Seer Green & Jordan (which is in South Bucks). It was a popular tourist attraction until a rich chap bought the land and closed it to the public. The area since has slightly lost its tourism, but is well worth a visit, as its only 20/30 mins from famous Windsor, and a 40 minute train from London. I do still bump into Americans in the local villages around here, and for anyone wanting to visit this area and see the country, I would recommend staying in either Beaconsfield, Windsor, Penn Village (linked to Pennsylvania) or Marlow :)

[@glennwatson3313]

Great video. The music was a bit much.

[@firewingy]

I watch videos because I learn by listening instead of reading. My Social Studies teacher made me watch this and I learned about as much as I would with an article.

[@jebaker751]

So the Mayflower Atlantic ocean trip was like being in a mobile home under quarentine for 2 months.

8th grade US history :(

[@hanoman78]

History made simple, yet packed with info 👍🏾

[@CurePhyllodes]

On the official MayFlower website it says that they were headed to Virginia where the colony was. Also it says that the Mayflower was in such dire shape after everything that it was used for scrap and sold off bit by bit

[@larryboener7549]

In 1620 the colony of Virginia actually stretched to the Hudson River Valley.

[@RodneyDodson]

Out of the 41 people who signed the Mayflower Compact, 6 were my family members. We still have our family crest.

[@hy7nn]

O wait really????

[@valerier3673]

That is cool. I am a descendant of John Howland and Elizabeth Tilley. What about you?

[@romulodecastrodasilva5863]

No one care why you are here, just enjoy this amazing history!

Hard to believe that over 35 million people are direct descendants of Mayflower passengers.

It is when under 25 million americans claim british ancestry

The bravery of our past generations. Knowing only half would even survive. I can’t even imagine.

Yeah that should have been hard for them😓😓😓

[@susanpage8315]

I have known that my New England roots were deep, but recently we found out that we are descended from both Bradford and Hopkin families. For a history junkie, this is fascinating (Not denying the horrible way my ancestors treated the Indigenous people and African slaves).

[@bigrodneyakatrey]

I love this format. Perfect

[@justicethunderoad7384]

My Great x11 Grandfather ''Richard Warren'' came over on the Mayflower. Documented through the ''Mayflower Society, interesting.

[@sharonfarrell1338]

Thats is cool yeah for you

[@NanaAmySpectreSeeker1111]

Quite direct... descendant...still in Plymouth, Ma. ❤

[@pashminagal]

What about the second sailing of the Mayflower? My father said that our line arrived on that voyage, I can't find any information on it though.

[@darceytomasino4966]

The video says they were headed to modern day NYC, but that's incorrect. They were headed to Virginia, where NY was in the 1600's.

[@WinstonMcGregor-hx8ub]

I could be wrong but when explaining history arent you supposed to start from the beginning with all the facts? What happened when they landed? What about slaving the indigenous people? If that makes you mad, ask yourself why your mad at facts?

I've seen a film describing the first pilgrims and their settlement in Plymouth, but i can't remember the name of this film. Could anyone tell me, please?

[@chrisppx]

any more info about the film?

[@Johnscorner47]

@@chrisppx there was a ship, May Flower and the crew settling in Plymouth and in the first winter they got help from natives. Later on, the tribe had a conflict with other tribes and these pilgrims helped the tribe to fight agaisnt all. The tribe taught these pilgrims how to cultivate corns and other crops. Besides, there was a group spending this winter on the ship with the supply brought from Europe and at the middle of the winter they run out of food and the pilgrims provided them so that they can survive...

[@iKimFowler]

I don't think the Mayflower went up toward the Canadian shore as this video shows in the beginning.

[@Oldgoat912]

I am afraid hat some of the information in your video is wrong. The Mayflower was a THREE-masted sailing vessel. The fore-mast is the front mast, the middle mast is the main-mast and the rear mast is the mizzen-mast. The front leaning spar is the bow-sprint and is not considered a mast. You might want to correct your video, you don't want people to think you do not know what you are talking about.

Were any ships during that period built to transport people?

[@shawntipton7398]

Yes, the Mayflower and the great sailing ships, things were more practical, trips across the North Atlantic were perilous and so there were no luxury liners.
