Summary: "Bradford's History of 'Plimoth Plantation'" by William Bradford is a historical account written in the early 17th century. The text serves as a primary source for understanding the founding and development of the Plymouth Colony, meticulously detailing the challenges and experiences faced by the Pilgrims from their departure from England to their struggles in the New World. This narrative provides insight into the lives of the early settlers and their journey toward establishing a community grounded in their religious convictions. The opening of the work sets the stage for Bradford's exploration of the motivations behind the Pilgrims' migration, framed within the broader context of religious persecution in England. It describes how the desire for a purer religious practice led to the formation of their separatist community, which ultimately compelled them to leave their homeland. Bradford emphasizes that their journey was not merely physical but also a spiritual quest for freedom to worship without the constraints imposed by the Church of England and its contentious practices. The detailed account of their trials, including imprisonment and financial loss, hints at the sacrifices the Pilgrims made in pursuit of their beliefs, paving the way for the colonization of America.
