CT’s History Starts with The Mayflower
Manage episode 388024388 series 3006693
Connecticut has a direct connection to The Mayflower, which landed in Plymouth, Massachusetts more than 400 years ago. Some of the Pilgrims on that ship would establish the first British settlement in CT. The real story behind the Mayflower voyage is not well known – it wasn’t just for religious freedom, as is commonly taught in schools. The stories behind the very difficult two-month voyage, the miracle that saved the Bush and Roosevelt political dynasties, the Plymouth Plantation, the Mayflower Compact, how Native Americans saved the Pilgrims, and the truth of the first Thanksgiving are all told by Jack McLaughlin, an Interpreter for the Mayflower II Museum boat in Plymouth.
