Q7. Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow:
(10)
The holiday of Thanksgiving was born from the Puritan settlement of Plymouth, on the coast of
present-day Massachusetts.
Puritan separatists, desperate for religious freedom, left England in 1607 for the Netherlands
under increasing pressure from the crown to conform. Although they were allowed religious
freedom, they were not granted citizenship in the Netherlands, and hence, could not secure
meaningful jobs and were restricted to those that were low-paying and unskilled. Some Puritans,
disheartened by the drifting of their children from the church, made arrangements with the
Merchant Adventurers (a London joint-stock company) to relocate to America. Payment for their
passage was made in exchange for future repayment and a percentage of future profits made by
the settlement.
35 Pilgrims (as they would come to be known) boarded the Mayflower with 67 other passengers
and set sail for Virginia on September 16, 1620. The treacherous voyage across the stormy
Atlantic Ocean lasted 10 weeks. When the Mayflower finally approached America, it was
nowhere near Jamestown or even Virginia. On November 11, 1620, the Mayflower reached land
off present-day Cape Cod. Some historians believe the Mayflower never intended to sail to
Virginia, but rather had secretly planned to sail to New England. Many of the passengers
threatened mutiny because they were supposed to be brought to Virginia. As a result, the
Mayflower Compact was drafted which guaranteed the equal treatment of all settlers in the new
colony. The Mayflower Compact further documented the colony's continued allegiance to
England, but also called for the establishment of an independent, civil government.
The Compact was signed by 41 male passengers and the decision to remain at Plymouth, rather
than to spend more time at sea was made. The settlers organized themselves into a group known
as the Council of New England. The council promised one hundred acres of land to those settlers
who remained at Plymouth for seven years. The Mayflower and its passengers explored the coast
of Massachusetts for several weeks before finding the perfect spot at Plymouth on December 21,
1620.
Life in Massachusetts was difficult for the settlers. Half of the original passengers on the
Mayflower died of disease, starvation, and the harsh Massachusetts winter. Unlike Jamestown,
however, Indian attacks were not a constant threat. Rather, the local Wampanoag Indians were
responsible for the survival of the colonists. Squanto, who was kidnapped and had experienced
life in Europe as a slave and later as an observer of European culture in a monastery, had recently
returned to Massachusetts only to find his former village ravaged by death and disease. He
assimilated into the Wampanoag village located at Plymouth and later joined the Pilgrim colony at
Plymouth when they learned he could speak English. Squanto taught the Pilgrims how to establish
friendly relations with the Indians and how to plant crops, fish, and trap mammals for the fur
trade. If it wasn't for Squanto, the Wampanoag’s and their sachem Massasoit, all of the settlers
would have surely perished. One year after the landing of the Mayflower, the surviving Pilgrims
celebrated their first fall harvest with a prodigious feast. They invited 91 of their Indian neighbors.
The feast was the first ever Thanksgiving.
