“Captaine Newport having set things in order, set
saile for England the 22d of June, leaving
provision for 13 or 14 weeks. The day before the
Ships departure, the King of Pamaunke sent the
Indian that had met us before in our discoverie,
to assure us peace; our fort being then palisadoed
round, and all our men in good health and
comfort, albeit, that through some discontented
humors, it did not so long continue, . . .”
-Captain John Smith, “A True Relation,” 1608
“As yet we had no houses to cover us, our Tents were
rotten and our Cabbins worse then nought: our best
commoditie was Yron [iron] which we made into little
chissels. The president and Captaine Martins sicknes,
constrayned me to be Cape Marchant, and yet to spare no
paines in making houses for the company; who
notwithstanding our misery, little ceased their mallice,
grudging, and muttering. As at this time were most of
our chiefest men either sicke or discontented, the rest
being in such dispaire, as they would rather starve and rot
with idlenes, then be perswaded to do any thing for their
owne reliefe without constraint . . .”
–Captain John Smith, “A True Relation,” 1608
“In the Name of God, Amen. We, whose names are underwritten, the Loyal
Subjects of our dread Sovereign Lord King James, by the Grace of God, of
Great Britain, France, and Ireland, King, Defender of the Faith, etc. Having
undertaken for the Glory of God, and Advancement of the Christian Faith, and
the Honour of our King and Country, a Voyage to plant the first Colony in the
northern Parts of Virginia; Do by these Presents, solemnly and mutually, in the
Presence of God and one another, covenant and combine ourselves together
into a civil Body Politick, for our better Ordering and Preservation, and
Furtherance of the Ends aforesaid: And by Virtue hereof do enact, constitute,
and frame, such just and equal Laws, Ordinances, Acts, Constitutions, and
Officers, from time to time, as shall be thought most meet and convenient for
the general Good of the Colony; unto which we promise all due Submission and
Obedience. In Witness whereof we have hereunto subscribed our names at
Cape-Cod the eleventh of November, in the Reign of our Sovereign Lord King
James, of England, France, and Ireland, the eighteenth, and of Scotland, the
fifty-fourth, Anno Domini, 1620.”
–The Mayflower Compact
“The great questions that have troubled the country,
are about the authority of the magistrates and the
liberty of the people. It is yourselves who have called
us to this office, and being called by you, we have our
authority from God, . . . If you stand for your natural
corrupt liberties, and will do what is good in your own
eyes, you will not endure the least weight of authority,
but will murmur, and oppose, and be always striving
to shake off that yoke; but if you will be satisfied to
enjoy such civil and lawful liberties, such as Christ
allows you, then will you quietly and cheerfully submit
unto that authority which is set over you, in all the
administrations of it, for your good.”
Governor Winthrop: . . . [Y]ou have spoken divers things as we have
been informed very prejudicial to the honour of the churches and
ministers thereof, and you have maintained a meeting and an assembly in
your house that hath been condemned by the general assembly as a thing
not tolerable nor comely in the sight of God nor fitting for your sex, and
notwithstanding that was cried down you have continued the same. . . .
Mrs. Hutchinson: I am called here to answer before you but I hear no
things laid to my charge.
Gov.: I have told you some already and more I can tell you.
Mrs. H.: Name one Sir.
Gov.: Have I not named some already?
Mrs. H.: What have I said or done?
Gov.: Why for your doings, this you did harbour and countenance those
that are parties in this faction that you have heard of.
Mrs. H.: That's matter of conscience, Sir.
Gov.: Your conscience you must keep or it must be kept for you.
Governor Winthrop: Why do you keep such a meeting at your house as
you do every week upon a set day?
Mrs. H.: It is lawful for me to do so, as it is all your practices and can you
find a warrant for yourself and condemn me for the same thing? The
ground of my taking it up was, when I first came to this land because I
did not go to such meetings as those were, it was presently reported that I
did not allow of such meetings but held them unlawful and therefore in
that regard they said I was proud and did despise all ordinances, . . .
Gov.: Well, we see how it is we must therefore put it away from you or
restrain you from maintaining his course.
Mrs. H.: If you have a rule for it from God’s word you may.
Gov.: We are your judges, and not you ours and we must compel you to it.
Mrs. H.: If it please you by authority to put it down I will freely let you for
I am subject to your authority.
“Our harvest being gotten in, our governor sent four
men on the fouling [hunt for food], that we might . . .
rejoice together after we had gathered the fruits of our
labors. In one day they killed as much fowl as . . .
served the company almost a week. At which time, . . .
many of the Indians came amongst us . . . with some
ninety men whom for three days we entertained and
feasted . . .”
– Thanksgiving at the Massachusetts Bay colony, 1621
In the autumn of 1621, a young member of the
Massachusetts Bay colony, Edward Winslow, was
present at the colony’s first Thanksgiving. He remarks
that “many of the Indians came amongst us . . . with
some ninety men whom for three days we entertained
and feasted. . . .”

Our pumpkins and parsnips are
common supplies. We
have pumpkins at morning and
pumpkins at noon,
If it were not for pumpkin,
We should be undone.

“Our capital town is advanced to about 150
very tolerable [satisfactory] houses for
wooden ones; they are chiefly on both the
navigable rivers that bound the ends or sides
of the town. The farmers have got their
winter corn in the ground. I suppose we may
be 500 farmers strong. I settle them in
villages, dividing 5,000 acres among ten,
fifteen, or twenty families, as their ability is to
plant it. . . .”
“The governor, William Penn, laid out the city of Philadelphia
between the two rivers Delaware and Schuylkill, naming it with
the pious wish and desire that its inhabitants might dwell
together in brotherly love and unity. . . .
“On the 24th day of October, 1685, I, Francis Daniel
Pastorius, with the wish and concurrence of our governor, laid
out and planned a new town, which we called Germantown, or
Germanopolis, in a very fine and fertile district, with plenty of
springs of fresh water, being well supplied with oak, walnut,
and chestnut trees, and having besides excellent and abundant
pasturage for the cattle. At the commencement there were but
twelve families of forty-one individuals, consisting mostly of
German mechanics and weavers.”
“ . . . Now, although the oft-mentioned William Penn is
one of the sect of Friends, or Quakers, still he will
compel no man to belong to his particular society; but
he has granted to everyone free and untrammeled
exercise of their opinions and the largest and most
complete liberty of conscience.
“The native Indians have no written religious belief or
creed; and their own peculiar ideas, which are by no
means so rude or so barbarous as those of many other
heathens, have to be transmitted from the parents to
their children only per traditionem [through tradition]. .
