If someone says that Pilgrims didn't do much for us, what should we say to them?
A. Tuxedos were invented because of those black and white outfits the Pilgrims wore.
B.That Mayflower Compact they made was the first constitution ever written in North America, and it was similar to the later United States Constitution in many ways.
C. Half of them died the first winter and the rest still stayed. How often do you find idealism like that

How do you sum up the basic problem that confronted the Puritans who wanted to migrate to America? Was it money problems, was it fear of Mohawk revolt, or they would be Separatists instead of Puritans, and that bothered them?
Thank you.
When you have answered these the best you can, please re-post, and someone here will be happy to give you suggestions and let you know where you need to make corrections.
The first answer must be B because this first constitution laid the groundwork for the U.S. Constitution.
What problems are discussed in your assigned readings? We'll be glad to discuss them with you after you've posted your answer.
Well I didn't just copy and paste those even if it might look like it. And I only asked 2 questions.
Anyway for the first one I am currently thinking that it is probably A or C? Tuxedo's aren't a necessity, yet they are a nice contribution, and the bravery that C shows means we should respect the Pilgrims. So I can't decide.
On the second question I'm thinking it was probably fear of Mohawk revolt?
Please give me your opinion on this. Thanks.
Ok the first one is B? The reason I was confused on it was because that all 3 of them could work. I just didn't know which one was best I guess.
And with the other question, I'm still not sure but I think it was fear of Mohawk Revolt?
I can find no mention of a Mowhawk Revolt in the early 1600s. Against whom did they revolt?

As Ms. Sue said, no history of a Mohawk revolt then. Did you read the article Ms. Sue linked for you?
Ok I know now that the answer is If they left England, they would be Separatists instead of Puritans, and that bothered them.
thank you
Right!
The basic problem that confronted the Puritans who wanted to migrate to America was religious persecution and the desire for religious freedom. They were dissatisfied with the Church of England and sought to establish a more pure and simplistic form of Protestantism. They were called "Puritans" because they sought to purify the Church of England from what they saw as corruptions and practices that they deemed unscriptural. This desire for religious freedom led them to migrate to America in search of a place where they could freely practice their religion without interference or persecution.
It was not primarily money problems or fear of Mohawk revolt that motivated the Puritans to migrate. Although financial considerations did play a role, their main motivation was driven by their religious beliefs and the desire to establish a society based on their interpretations of the Bible. They wanted to separate themselves from the Church of England and create a community where they could worship and live in accordance with their own religious principles.
It is worth noting that while the Puritans were indeed separatists in the sense that they wanted to separate from the Church of England, they saw themselves as Puritans rather than being bothered by the term "Separatists." Their goal was not to simply separate for the sake of being separate, but to establish their own religious community and practice their faith in a way they believed was true and faithful to biblical teachings.
To sum up, the basic problem that confronted the Puritans who wanted to migrate to America was the desire for religious freedom and the establishment of a society based on their religious beliefs.
