Summary

This episode details the origins of the Pilgrims, their voyage, and their interactions with the Natives in the first successful New England colony. Along the way I describe the importance of a document signed onboard the ship and how it was a defining moment in American history. Those onboard were not aware of that, though. I also discuss the interactions with the natives, both the ugly and the inspiring, and how it would shape the colonial experience going forward. Again, the AP notes get the broad strokes, but are lacking on the details. So this may be how you remember the story told, but I hope you glean some new information regardless. So, let’s expand on what we think we know already, keep and open mind, and fill in those missing pages.
