The Political History of the United States Folgen

With the end of the first winter, the Pilgrims attention was quickly turned towards the Indian question. This week we are going to detail those early interactions with the Wampanoag tribe, and examine how the two groups were able to create a long-lasting peace. Join us on social media! Threads: https://www.threads.net/@uspoliticalpodcastTwitter: https://twitter.com/ushistpodcastFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/USPoliticalpodcast/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/uspoliticalpodcast/Website: https://www.uspoliticalpodcast.com/Bibliography: https://uspoliticalpodcast.com/?page_id=196

With the Mayflower Compact in place, it is time to getting the pilgrims off the boat. This week we are going to spend our time looking at the founding of the Plymouth colony. We are going to discuss what those early days were like on the ground in New England, why the Plymouth site was chosen, and discuss the events of that first winter in North America for our newest settlers.Join us on social media! Threads: https://www.threads.net/@uspoliticalpodcastTwitter: https://twitter.com/ushistpodcastFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/USPoliticalpodcast/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/uspoliticalpodcast/Website: https://www.uspoliticalpodcast.com/Bibliography: https://uspoliticalpodcast.com/?page_id=196

After failing to land near the mouth of the Hudson, as originally planned, the Pilgrims aboard the Mayflower were forced to land up near Cape Cod. This caused serious issues for our colonists because they lacked the authority to set up camp there. Needing to improvise they decided that the survival of the group depended on there being some underlying agreement between all the people aboard the Mayflower. Out of this, the Mayflower Compact is born. This week we are going to explore the Compact. We are going to look at what it did in reality, the mythology that often surrounds the Compact, and then finally what caused the document to be elevated to such a high position of honor.Join us on social media! Threads: https://www.threads.net/@uspoliticalpodcastTwitter: https://twitter.com/ushistpodcastFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/USPoliticalpodcast/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/uspoliticalpodcast/Website: https://www.uspoliticalpodcast.com/Bibliography: https://uspoliticalpodcast.com/?page_id=196
