Hey, i am a 8th grade Dutch student and I had to write in English about the Pilgrim Fathers. Your video helped me a lot. Thank you 😊

[@mydaddy5393]

What she left out is what happened after Thanksgiving was created. The "settlers" killed Native Indians who were already here. Women, children and men after the indians welcomed them with open arms, they were fed, received shelter, and were taught to survive. Put that in your homework paper. The Pilgrims were back stabbing killers. THAT, is the truth kids!

Greetings! My ancestor sailed on the Mayflower, his name was Edward Doty, and he was an indentured servant of Stephen Hopkins. He was not a separatist, just wanted to go to the New World, but didn’t have any money, so he became an indentured servant and worked for Hopkins for a few years to pay back the cost of the ride there.

[@augustuscaesar8287]

Ayy, my ancestors came on the Mayflower too! All of them my 10th great grandparents, I descend from 3 of the passengers: John Alden and Priscilla Mullens on my dad's side, and William Bradford on my mother's side. After having done my family tree, I told them that their 9th great grandfathers were actually good friends back in the early 1600's.

[@AuthenticallyJeannette]

My 12th great grandfather was Stephen Hopkins! So cool to connect with people today who had family together on this one boat. ❤

[@AdamMann3D]

Ask him did you? I descend from 6 mayflower passengers. We don't know why each one went. Don't pretend.

No, they were religious fanatics with no tolerance to others and that s why they basically left to New World. In England they were going around demanding ppl NOT to celebrate Christmas. And Puritans were tolerated in Netherlands, but they hated that tolerance (because Puritans were radicals). Please don’t twist the history
