The Pilgrims played a Significant Role in the History of our Country.
We all know the story about the Pilgrims coming over from England. A group of religious separatists left England for religious freedom. 102 people aimed for Virginia via the Mayflower. It'd be the third attempt because of ship trouble. However, they were blown off course to modern day Massachusetts. The colonists were outside of area claimed by other nations. As such, the people saw themselves as their own independent nation.
The Mayflower Compact was essentially a forerunner to our own American Constitution. Those who signed it would gain protection from the laws described. It was the first agreement for self government in America. This document was also fundamental to the subsequent Massachusetts Bay Colony.
I picked this topic because the Mayflower Compact was the first form Constitution-type document in the United States.
