In 1606, a congregation formed in Scrooby, England, seeking refuge from persecution, ultimately settling in Plymouth, Massachusetts, in December 1620. Led by prominent figures like John Carver and William Bradford, these Pilgrims faced severe hardships, with many dying in their first winter. They established a treaty with Native Americans, fostering cooperation. Despite challenges, including King Philip’s War, the colony grew slowly, eventually merging into Massachusetts in 1692. The Pilgrims’ legacy of liberty and determination continues to influence the region today.
