I learned that in England whatever the King said was law. Some thought differently that they wanted to worship in their own way. The people who didn't follow the law were called Separastists and they were treated very badly.
ReplyDeleteI already knew that but I don't think it is right what about you?
DeleteI was surprised when I read that what the king said was the law and that only men could sign the mayflower compact.
ReplyDeleteI'm surprised that only men got to sign the may flower compact.
ReplyDeleteMy question is why did people want to leave the Church of England?
ReplyDeleteThe pilgrims left the church because they wanted to belevie in their own religion.
DeleteI was surprised most when I read that only one person died on the Mayflower. You would think that more people would die because of hunger, seasickness, and diseases. Because of that I was very surprised.
ReplyDeleteOne thing that surprised me was the Speedwell had had a lot of problems such as leaks etc. So all the people had to leave the Speedwell and get on the Mayflower.
ReplyDeleteCS#18 I remember reading that, that must have been scary for the people on the ship.
DeleteI was surprised when it said that king James refused to grant the Separatists a charter. Also he didn't want the Separatists(pilgrims) to practice their own religion there, so the deal with the Virginia Company fell apart.
ReplyDeleteOnly men could sign the Mayflower Compact.
ReplyDeleteI was surprised that only one person died on the way to Virginia.
ReplyDeleteOne question I have is why was the king so bad and mean to all the people? one thing that surprised me was that the pilgrims almost starve why didn't they bring more food on their voyage.one way that the Jamestown people are the same as the pilgrims is in both the pilgrims and the Jamestown people had Indians help them. and one way they are different is the pilgrims tried to keep peace with the Indians and the Jamestown people did not.
ReplyDeletePilgrims are separatists that want to have their religion instead of going to the church of England. The pilgrims asked the Virginia Company to pay for their voyage to America but King James turned them down. So the pilgrims asked some adventurer Merchants to pay for their voyage and it was a success. So the Mayflower and the Speedwell went for the journey to the new world but the speedwell had to turn around for repairs. So the Mayflower set off for the journey to the new world. On the Mayflower the men on the ship made a compact called the Mayflower Compact to set laws for the pilgrims and the strangers. On the coast of cape cod there was a storm that sent them zooming to Massachusetts instead of Jamestown.
ReplyDeleteI cant believe only one person died on the way to Virginia.
ReplyDeleteI was surprised that King James made a church called "The church of England" and that many people disagreed King James laws.
ReplyDeleteI was surprised to read that the Mayflower was originally sailing to the Virginia colony then got blown to Massachusetts
ReplyDeletethe thing that I didn't know before was that the Mayflower and the Speedwell all together had 120 passengers aboard the ship, and only one person died on that voyage.
ReplyDeleteJamestown was different because they wanted gold and the pilgrims wanted food.
ReplyDeleteWhat I learned about pilgrims today is that they left England because they were being persecuted for their religious belifs
ReplyDeleteThe king made a church,but other people want to worship their own god so they made deal so other people got sent on the may flower and the speedwell to go to their new world in jamestowne
ReplyDeleteI think that the pilgrims wanted to pray and learn about GOD their own way, instead of the kings way.
ReplyDeleteI`m really surprised that one person died all the way to Virginia!
ReplyDeleteI learned that the pilgrims wanted to leave England because they didn't like the way they had to worship
ReplyDeleteThe difference between Jamestown settlers and the Pilgrims is that Jamestown settlers wanted gold, silver, a passage to China and India, basically anything that would make money. The Pilgrims went to the new world to worship in their own way.
ReplyDeleteOne thing I learned today about the pilgrims is that some of them had like nowhere to sleep some of them had to sleep on wooden pallets attached to the wall I felt really bad for them so much!
ReplyDeleteI learned that Squanto was nice to them.
ReplyDeleteWhat I learned about the pilgrims is that England did not like the pilgrims belifs.
ReplyDeleteI learned that Squanto was nice to them by showing them how to plant corn so they didn't starve
