All about The Separatists.

Why Did the Pilgrims Come to the New World?
Above all, the Pilgrims wanted to be free.
(Click on the Picture to listen to the questions you should answer at the end of this post)
They disagreed with the religious teachings of the Church of England. In fact, the Pilgrims were members of a group of people called Separatists. These people had different beliefs than the rest of the English people. In 1606, they formed their own church in a small village called Scrooby. At this time, the Church of England was the same as the Government of England. In other words, King James I was the head of both the country and the church. Not belonging to the church meant not obeying the king. This was treason. Try to imagine that our new president told us we have to go to his church. If we refused we would go to jail, if we started our own church we could be put to death. This was the religious intolerance that the Separatists were living with.
So the Pilgrims left England, in search of a safe place to practice their religion. They chose to go to Holland but that was not easy either they were arrested for trying to leave, finally they got out in secret and found a home in Leiden.
For 12 years, they worshipped under their pastor, John Robinson. But the Pilgrims were also poor. Many of them were forced to work difficult jobs all day long, for little money. They had found religious peace in Holland, but they were making barely enough money to survive. There children could not speak English but spoke the language of the land Dutch. They did not want to be Dutch.But what to do? They finally decided to sail to North America.
They didn’t want to join the Jamestown colony, founded in 1607, because they feared that the English people there would treat them badly because of their religious beliefs. Life in Jamestown was hard many people starved in this colony and were attacked by Native American tribes that saw the English as intruders.
So the Pilgrims settled on the northern part of the Virginia Territory, at the mouth of the Hudson River (near what is now New York). Happily, the Pilgrims found businesspeople who were willing to give them money in exchange for a share of the profits made in America. The Pilgrims bought a small ship called the Speedwell and sailed back to England. They stayed long enough to get more colonists and a larger ship, the Mayflower. They set sail from Southampton on August 5, 1620.
The Speedwell wasn’t in shape to make the journey, and the Pilgrims returned to Plymouth, England. They crowded all 102 people onboard the Mayflower and set sail again, on September 16. This time, they kept going.
Part 2: The New World The ocean crossing was long and difficult. It was cold and wet on the ship. They were crowded 102 people in a small space. There were terrible storms on that nearly tore the ship in two, but a screw like a Jack was used to hold it together.
Many of the Pilgrims wondered if they would ever see land. Two people died, and one baby was born. By the time they reached land On November 9, 80 % of them were sick from bad water, cold weather, and little food.
Two days later, they dropped anchor at Cape Cod, which is now in Massachusetts. An advance party soon went ashore and looked for food and shelter, while most of the people stayed aboard the Mayflower.
A group of Pilgrims, led by William Bradford, signed the Mayflower Compact, which said that they agreed to govern themselves and not take orders from other people. They also agreed to make laws together in which everyone had a say, making this the first form of democratic government in the New World.
More scouting of the new land followed, and the entire group finally went ashore and began to build a settlement. It was December 23, and the place was Plymouth. The first winter was very hard. More than 40 people died. Leaving only 60 people of the original 102. The rest of the Pilgrims made it through the winter. In the spring, they began to plant food and continued to explore their new home.
On March 16, Samoset and another Native American entered the Plymouth settlement and said, in English, “Welcome, Englishmen.” The Pilgrims were amazed. Samoset explained that he had learned their language from English fishermen who had fished there in the winter. The two peoples exchanged greetings and ideas. They parted as friends. A few days later, Samoset returned with Squanto, another Native American leader. The Pilgrims welcomed him, too. Soon, Massasoit, the leader of the large tribe the Wampanoag, visited Plymouth. The two peoples signed a peace treaty that would last 50 years. The Native Americans had taught the Pilgrims how to plant wheat, barley, Indian corn, and peas. Soon, the settlement was growing lots of food. Later that year, in the fall, the Pilgrims celebrated the harvest. They invited their Native American friends to join them. This has become known as the first Thanksgiving. The Plymouth colony thrived. More people were born, and more people arrived from Europe. Soon, other colonies sprung up. It wouldn’t be long before English colonies filled the entire Eastern coast of North America. The Pilgrims, in seeking freedom from religious punishment and economic hardship, had found in the New World new friends and a new way of life

Koadable Clean up Beach
Before We Code First a few facts about pollution our beaches and our ocean.
Plastic has been found in more than 60% of all seabirds and in 100% of sea turtles species, that mistake plastic for food. … Every year, 8 million tons of plastics enter our ocean on top of the estimated 150 million tons that currently circulate our marine environments.
Plastic is our problem. We must clean up and replace the use of plastics in the next 20 years. There are oceans of plastic that go on for miles.
Code Connection: Let’s clean up the beach using Koadable coding platform.
Here we get good practice coding and we stay mindful the plastics and trash threaten our wildlife and environment.
