There was scarcity of food and colony settlers were living off carcasses of dogs, cats and horses, time which would be later called the “Starving time”. This colony was founded in 1607 by 104 settlers of which only 38 survived the first nine months, with most succumbing to starvation and disease caused probably by poisoned water. Additionally, this time also saw one of the worst droughts , and since the colonists were not accustomed to agricultural labor, most perished and the survivors were entirely dependent on the trade with Native Americans. Being transported in such ear of such hardship, basic survival skills would be of most imperative.

    The New World was not without its conflicts as evidenced in the many disputes the Puritans such as Bradford and his Separatists along with Winthrop and his Congregationalists had with other parties who were regarded as dissenters. The causes of such disputes did indeed vary but the inherent reason under all of them was thought to be the Puritan leaders’ defensive nature along with their desire to interpreting history so as to make it compatible with Calvinistic theology. This thus brings varying discrepancies in the early American literature such as those of Thomas Morton and William Bradford who describe similar events but with varying points of view thus reaching different conclusions.…

    The writings of both authors, William Bradford and Olaudah Equiano, are very important, because they show us first and accounts of their ideas and horrors. In the story Of Plymouth Plantation, William Bradford showed how Puritans could overcome obstacles in many quotes in this story. "Being thus arrived in good harbor, and brought safe to land, they fell upon their knees and blessed the God of Heaven who brought them over the vast and furious ocean, and delivered them from all the perils and miseries thereof, again to set their feet on the firm and stable earth..." is just one quote that revealed how the Puritans looked to God to overcome these obstacles (pgs. 30-31). Many believed that all the obstacles were all to Gods will and everything was happening for a reason. Believing that everything was to Gods will made it easier to except all their misfortunes of all the events happening in America. God affected everyone in a different way.Equiano tells us that he was the son of a chief, and that at about the age of eleven he and his sister were kidnapped while out playing, and were marched to the coast and put on board a slave ship. Equiano then endured the middle passage on a slave ship bound for the New World.…
