The Pilgrim Fathers
The Pilgrim Fathers are early English settlers, who founded the Plymouth Colony. It was the first lasting settlement in New England. 1606 a group of separatists divided from the church in England, to escape religious persecution.
The Pilgrim Fathers wanted to emigrate to the USA. They went with a ship, called Mayflower, on a 2 months journey, and arrived in today’s Provincetown in Masachussets. On this journey many people died, because they suffered from the aftereffects of scurvy.
After a while they formed a government and wrote the Mayflower-Compact, because they had no rights. It is the first constitution in america.

Hi Mert,
good overview.
Please remember that all nouns and adjectives referring to nations (America/American // Germany/German // …) start with a capital
letter.
If you want to say “Verfolgung” (last word in your first paragraph), it´s PERSECUTION. Please correct these things.
Have a brilliant weekend! MD
Thank you, Mr. Dopp. I’m going to correct the mistakes.
See you on Wednesday. 🙂
