Settling in America
The Pilgrims came to America in hopes of having more freedom. They came to America because they wanted to explore and make money. But most importantly for their religious freedom. The Pilgrims came to America by one ship named the Mayflower that carried 102 passengers. They left England on September 6,1620 and got to America on December 26,1620. The first house they built was called the common house. (Meeting house, hospital, storage house and church.) That is how the new colonies got started.
Surviving in America
The Pilgrims survived in America with very limited amount of things. One thing that they survived with was their shelters. An average house was about 20 square feet. Also, it was only one room and the older kids slept in the attic. When the Pilgrims farmed, they planted corn, squash, nuts, berries and beans. One day an Indian named Samoset, introduced Squanto, who could speak perfect English. Then their life got a lot easier when they met Squanto.
