Product Description: At dawn on November 19, 1620, land was sighted. It was Cape Cod, Massachusetts, not Jamestown or the shoreline of Virginia. Here—as everywhere else on the New England coast—there was no established government and no Anglican church. What could be more appealing to this group of Separatists who had crossed the ocean to establish a new and pure Christian society?
But not everyone on board shared the Pilgrims' grand vision. Once landed, the Pilgrims would need a sure form of government or there could be rebellion. If everyone didn't pull together for the common good, they might all starve in the wilderness. And so they came together in the captain's cabin, where (in the words of Winston Churchill) they "drew up a solemn compact that is one of the most remarkable documents in history."
