There were many problems the Puritans faced as they tried to
establish the first settlement in the New World, it was important because it represents the history of our country. The examination of the
Plymouth Plantation by William Bradford, will reveal that many of the days they
encountered starvation, sickness, diseases, and they also had relationship
issues with the Indians and the treaty drawn up by the Massasoit. They were
very perserverent because they had God on their side to help them get through
everything.
