8. You are forbidden to worship anything other than the what the church of England says you can

9. I want to worship as I please

10. Pilgrims upset with the King Religion was a big deal in England and the King of England punished people who did not follow the official church. Pilgrims were separatists who wanted to separate from the church of England and were forbidden to worship in public. If they did they could be arrested, beaten or even sentenced to death.

11. Pilgrims Escape England The Pilgrims were a part of the Separatists. They were tired of the harsh treatment and wanted to escape England. They wanted to be able to practice their religion freely.

12. True or False The Jamestown settlers settled in North America for religious reasons. TrueFalse

13. Pilgrims ask to go to Virginia Eventually the Pilgrims went to the Virginia Company and asked if they could settle in America and start their own colony under the protection of the Virginia Company. Can we come to America to practice our religion?

14. The Virginia Company says Ok In 1618 the Virginia Company agreed to help the Pilgrims get to America and settle in on the Company’s land. I don’t care if the pilgrims come to America

15. What is the name of the ship they sail on? The Nina The Mayflower The Speed Racer The Pinta

16. The Mayflower After two years, the Pilgrims finally boarded a ship called the Mayflower that was to take them across the Atlantic Ocean to America.

20. The Mayflower Originally there were two ships the Mayflower and the smaller Speedwell. However, after a few miles out they had to turn back because something was wrong with the Speedwell. Everyone decided to get on the Mayflower making it crowed, dark and cramped.

22. Aboard the Ship Not only was the ship dark, wet and cramped. The ceiling of the ship was only about 5 feet tall so everyone had to hunch over. People went to the bathroom in buckets and often got sea sick. For two months the Pilgrims lived like this aboard the Mayflower.

25. Can you guess what happens next? The Mayflower sinks and a second boat rescues the Pilgrims. It makes the Pilgrims think they god’s chosen people. The Mayflower is ravaged by a storm and lands faraway from where they intended. The Mayflower makes the journey to North America faster than any voyage before it.

27. Atlantic Storms Hit The first month across the Atlantic went fairly smoothly. However, during late November several Atlantic storms began to hit the Mayflower. The strong winds tore through the sails and pushed the Mayflower far north of its intended location.

30. Off Course On the early morning of November 9, 1620, the Mayflower's crew spotted land. It was the first land they had seen in more than two months. However, the Pilgrims aboard the ship knew that they had landed outside the limits of the Virginia Company’s charter. Oh no…this isn’t where we wanted to land

31. The Mayflower Deconstructed http://www.history.com/videos/deconstructed- mayflower#deconstructed-mayflower

32. The Mayflower Compact Since the Pilgrims knew they needed a way to keep order and create laws the men aboard the ship developed what has become known as the Mayflower Compact. We need to agree on rules

33. The Mayflower Compact The men created the compact (contract) by writing down on a large sheet of paper simple rules/laws that they all could all agree upon. They all agreed that these laws were for the good of the colony and must be obeyed. All 41 men signed the Mayflower compact.

34. By signing your name you are agreeing to obey these rules and do whatever is best for the Plymouth colony

35. The Mayflower Compact The mayflower compact is important because it established the idea of self government and majority rule. Self government is where people create laws for themselves and majority rule is the idea that whatever the most people want is what will happen. But I don’t want to… Too bad… We are the majority

36. What is the best example of majority rules? When representatives vote on whether a bill should become a law. When the president decides to sign a treaty with another country. When a police officer pull someone over for speeding.

49. Samoset However, in the Spring the Pilgrims were approached by an English speaking Native American named Samoset. Samoset introduced the Pilgrims to Squanto, who also spoke English.

50. I speak English and we can help you

51. Squanto Squanto acted as an interpreter between the Pilgrims and his tribe the Massasoit. The Native Americans began sharing their agricultural (farming) practices. In exchange for teaching the Pilgrims how to plant crops, hunt and fish, the Pilgrims traded what little they had.

52. We have to teach these pilgrims our agricultural (farming) practices
