Mayflower

A small group of devout Puritan Christians exiled in Leiden, Netherlands from England by King Charles' persecution of non-conformist set sail in search of a new land to worship freely in the Americas. With little knowledge on seafaring, the group hired The Mayflower ship to sail across the Atlantic ocean for the new world.

Disease, starvation, and war befell the Pilgrims as they settled in ‘New England', but they ended up setting the first successful English settlement in America and this sprung The United States of America.
