Prompt:
At Plymouth, two societies (both of which needed an ally) encountered each other, and despite critical differences, they managed to form a kind of friendship that strengthened both groups. In particular, we learn much from our readings about the nature of Pilgrim society. The authors of The Times of Their Lives are careful to treat the examination of Plymouth as an exercise in busting myths. Discuss the reading and the video with an eye toward this myth-busting approach. What were some of the broad characteristics of the English settlement at Plymouth, and what was the settlement’s relationship with the neighboring Wampanoag peoples? How did these two groups find common ground?
