## Resource

A storm-tossed servant nearly vanishes into the Atlantic but ends up shaping the future of the United States. This is the dramatic saga of the Mayflower — the persecution that drove the Pilgrims from England, their nightmare crossing of the Atlantic, and the fragile pact that held their fractured community together. You’ll meet Squanto, whose astonishing journey across continents becomes the colony’s lifeline, and follow the rise of the Puritans, the clash of empires, and the eruption of King Philip’s War, one of the bloodiest conflicts in American history. This unlikely story of faith and resilience traces how one tiny ship’s journey forever alters a continent.
