Mayflower Pilgrims | Full Documentary

#pilgrim #america #history #education
In 1620, after years of sacrifice and hardship, they arrived on the shores of the New World in a tiny ship, they carried in their hearts a set of beliefs which would form the bedrock values for the world’s most powerful democracy.

[@charlespetersen2856]

Excellent documentary! Many thanks!

[@onestarabove7027]

Thank you for showing the actual places they lived.

[@randomfish18]

I feel that documentaries in the 20th century were more honest and honoring of the people who came to America. I grew up in the 90s, when documentaries were interesting and inspiring, not filled with modern opinion or political messaging. It's refreshing, and it inspires my joy and respect for my relatives among those on the Mayflower.

Lord forgive us for all our sins,especially abandoning our first love, turn us back to you and bless our nations, in Jesus name amen

Well, I’m 38 so probably had the same sort of education on this topic - what we learned really was a whitewashed version though. I’m fascinated by the English perspective, but equally as fascinated by the native perspective. The years following that first thanksgiving weren’t exactly a good time for the native people. I agree with you though that the documentaries in the 90’s were far better made and way higher quality. If you don’t already watch it I recommend History Time and North02, literally both WAY better than anything from the networks - by a mile.

@@karenbors9932Sins like wiping out native populations?

[@ThePalePatriot]

That is what liberals do, erase and change History, they are demons

[@maureenm6090]

I agree 💯

My Great Grandfather George Morton only lived 2 year s after getting to Plymouth. He left several children who did well for themselves.

I am a Mayflower and Jamestown descendent. I have always been awed and grateful for their bravery and sacrifices.

[@lynnfisher3037]

What relatives can you trace to each destination? That's simply amazing.

[@Andy_Babb]

My 9x great grandfather came over at 12 in 1638. There’s no record of his arrival or ship, but he was recorded a couple years later in 1641 in Plymouth. I’m so curious what it must have looked like when he arrived, what and how he ended up 40 miles west in Taunton (now Berkley, MA) to purchase land in 1652 - which I still live on today. He somehow managed to begin a relationship with a woman 40 miles north of THAT in Boston for a year prior to marrying her. Hes also recorded as one of the first men to die in King Philip’s War in 1675.

[@TheDJMeyer85]

These older documentaries give me nostalgia. I’m 12, at home laying on the couch and drifting in and out of sleep while watching History Channel

[@lindakay9552]

GOOD FOR YOU! There is so much to be found in history. You'd be amazed how many pilgrims you are probably related to.

[@audreyann1975]

29:20 I can't get enough of this history. It's fascinating. My dad is born and raised in Scotland and my mom's parents, my grandparents, are born and raised in Ireland and came to America in or about 1930. My grandfather was a tough Irishman. He worked with his hands in NYC. They settled in Brooklyn where my mom and aunt and Uncles were born and raised. My grandparents came on ships and became American citizens and were so proud of it.

[@mandychapin9411]

I don't know what I enjoy the most, the story itself, or the fact that it was made in the 90s.

[@Andy_Babb]

I’m with ya that the quality was so much better… but I also think the real stories of what native life was like and the screw job they endured at the hands of the English have been given a louder voice these days… it’d be nice if we could see some networks (ehemm, HISTORY CHANNEL!) actually put out some quality content for once

[@lindakay9552]

Thank you so much for sharing this. DNA proof: I'm a 10th great granddaughter of William Bradford. He (And Alice Richards -Mayflower) had a daughter, Hannah, who married Joshua Ripley. They had a daughter, Alice, who married my paternal 8th great grandfather, Samuel Edgerton. He attended Cazenovia seminary in New York, and was a minister at the first church in Franklin, CT. My 7th great grandfather fought in the Revolutionary War. And he married Elizabeth Tracy, daughter of John Tracy, and Margaret Hyde. Making me descended from 4 Mayflower passengers. My 5th great grandfather married Abigail Palmer. (Also Mayfloer, I believe..) He fought in WWI. My 4th great grandfather had a home on the Bozeman trail in South Dakota, and was a missionary to natives. My 3rd great grandfather led freed slaves into Canada. I was a Children's Ministry intern for 3 years. The Pilgrims dream is still alive today. I'm not even sure how many Mayflower passengers in descended from. The more I research, the more I find. These are just on my dad's side. I already know three are also some on my mom's side. I also have DNA related ancestors with the name Brown, as well as Smith. 18:09 OMG!!! I've never heard the term "Ancient Brethren " before. I just now Googled it with Edgerton, my surname. One of the first links is to a college paper about a plantation of Ancient Brethren in South Dakota. Which I already stated, is where my 5th great grandfather was a missionary. And that my 8th great grandfather attended Cazenovia Seminary. I think this video just solved a mystery that several geneologists have been trying to solve for decades. Where we come from.

I'm descended from the Mayflower "stranger" Richard Warren. Good man who risked it all for his family to have even larger opportunities than they had back in the Old World!

[@sandywhite4042]

My husband family was here before my family came on the Mayflower.

[@carmell51]

1⁄2 of my family was already here Creek Creek Indians And the other half came over From Scotland and England! I have been to cape Henry Look out over the waters And try to imagine what it was like. The incredible bravery Both men women and children Was Was unbelievably phenomenal. I thank God That his hand of providence Brought this about. In Europe1 group would be in power Who had to submit to them the other group got in power And you had to submit to them. It was a terrible life. Thank god for America. I hope god will continue to shine on us and move us back towards him so that we do not lose our country.....

I arrived by Boeing 747 (from an war torn Bangladesh). Slept the first night in warm Queen Elizabeth Hotel in Montreal. Later toiled in a factory, and finally completed my engineering degree from Waterloo. Even now sometimes I sit down, and contemplate what the Pilgrims of Mayflower went through. Pronam.

[@Art-ot2jn]

Same with my parents immigrants but that is the way it is if u donof establish contact with the locals u will find life difficult as a immigrant

[@WeAreLegion-]

Life was much harder

[@Andy_Babb]

My 9x great grandfather arrived in Plymouth colony in 1638 at 12yo, managed to purchase land in Berkley (still part of Taunton at the time), I still live on the last parcel left from the original land he purchased. My actual prick of a great grandfather GAVE AWAY _hundreds_ of acres, waterfront property, for nothing, all bc he didn’t want to pay the taxes. He was an actual bad person, but had he not been cheap too then my family would be multi-millionaires lol instead I putz around at my job, toiling away lol

[@maureenm6090]

I think the documentaries and even historic movies like "Roots" were more authentic in the 20th century. Today, people want to soften and create an alternate reality, make up their own version of history.

[@margaretmary-dj1ps]

Luv the authencity, yet painful - of "ROOTS" ...

[@samarne501]

I wish it would have gona just as long continuing there story

[@IblewuponyourfaceIII]

Why don’t most documentaries about the European immigration to the United States rarely if ever mention that the Spanish were first then the French? They usually just start with the Mayflower of the Pilgrims & Puritans & don’t mention how half of them descend from the French Huguenots. It’s an Anglo-English narrative. Spain & France were there before England & also can’t forget the Dutch & Swedish also Russia with Alaska.

[@thomashunt6123]

Because our culture is primarily based on British culture

[@holly52ful]

Just like in Spain, your going to get a slant that favors the country/ culture!! Not all history is empirical!!

[@carmell51]

I was taught all these things. I am 72 so I know that Teaching now Become Woke! We were talking about Every culture In their story and where Their colonies were in America. Melting pot. I realize now that the education I got then Was so much better What's being taught now. We had to study geography Most every year.... And we had to study our history All of it. Now all the books are trying to be socially appropriate. Wokeism Is destroying our educational system in the minds of our children.

[@BaileyArf]

Napoleon sold us Louisiana purchase and Spain left and Russia sold us Alaska.

[@IblewuponyourfaceIII]

@@BaileyArf Spain sold Florida as well. Spain lost in the Spanish-American Revolutions, Mexico & others got their sovereignty. Spain also lost Cuba & Puerto Rico later on to the United States in the Spanish-American war of 1898, when the U.S. took Cuba, Puerto Rico (along with Philippines & Guam).

Pilgrims came because religious persecution, Just being associated with name of Jesus Christ would be persecuted.Shame even today people being persecuted for religious differences.

[@petermedcalf1191]

The Pilgrim Fathers were the persecutors not the persecuted. The left England and Holland because they couldn't get their own narrow minded way. We were well rid of them.

[@BaileyArf]

We gained the bill of rights for people, because people had no rights and forefathers recognized that. Why do we think we have freedom of worship in America. Except when in the seventies they went from town to town removing crosses. Yep! they did.
