USA HISTORY

Detailed explanation-1: -The Mayflower landed in America on November 21, 1620-or did it? If you could ask William Bradford when the Mayflower landed, he would say November 11, 1620-the date he recorded in his journal.

Detailed explanation-2: -It must have been very challenging to give birth on a moving ship, with so many people and so much seasickness around. After more than two months (66 days) at sea, the Pilgrims finally arrived at Cape Cod on November 11, 1620.

Detailed explanation-3: -On November 11, 1620, 41 adult male colonists, including two indentured servants, signed the Mayflower Compact, although it wasn’t called that at the time.

Detailed explanation-4: -The Mayflower set sail on 16th September 1620 from Plymouth, UK, to voyage to America. But its history and story start long before that.

Detailed explanation-5: -However, stormy weather and navigational errors forced the Mayflower off course, and on November 21 the “Pilgrims” reached Massachusetts, where they founded the first permanent European settlement in New England in late December.
