Agreement Between the Settlers at New Plymouth (Mayflower Compact)Mayflower Compact • May 25th, 2010
Contract Type FiledMay 25th, 2010The Pilgrims enjoy almost mythic status in American history. These brave refugees crossed the cold Atlantic in search of religious liberty, signed a democratic compact aboard the Mayflower, landed at Plymouth Rock, and gave us our Thanksgiving Day. As with most legends, this one contains only a core of truth. The Pilgrims were not crusaders who set out to change the world. Rather, they were humble English farmers.
