Finding Terms and Names
Pronounce each term for students.
Review the meanings of words within
definitions, such as practice, dissenters,
and banished.
Read each term or name and its
definition aloud. After each one, have
students look through the section to find
the text or illustration where it appears.
Ask students to comment about the term
or name, such as whether it reminds
them of something they have already
learned or what they are especially
interested in learning about it.
• To modify vocabulary learning, have
students complete worksheets as they
read, instead of afterward.

• Read the quotation by John Winthrop on this
page. What is the message of his speech?
(To achieve their goals, the settlers must work
together as one.)
One Sunday morning in 1630, John Winthrop,
Winthrop a Puritan leader, gave
a sermon to a congregation gathered on a ship’s deck. The ship
was called the Arbella, and it was one of four carrying hundreds
of English colonists across the Atlantic Ocean to Massachusetts Bay. In his sermon Winthrop stated that success would
come only if the settlers worked together as a community
to achieve their common goals.

“
We must be knit together in this work. . . . We must
delight in each other, make others’ conditions our own
and rejoice together, mourn together, labor and suffer
together. . . . For we must consider that we shall be as a
City upon a Hill; the eyes of all people are on us.
The Puritans
The Puritans carefully planned their journey
and colony. While still in England, they
bought out the stock of the Massachusetts
Bay Company. They had sole control of their
company, unlike the other English-chartered
colonization companies.
”
—John Winthrop, “Model of Christian Charity”
Tens of thousands of English settlers soon followed Winthrop and
tried to create a religious society dedicated to the common good.

KEY QUESTION Why did the Pilgrims want to settle in America?
In the early 1500s, King Henry VIII of England broke his country’s ties with
the Catholic Church and established the Church of England. Although
English Protestants approved of separation from the Catholic Church, many
disagreed with certain aspects of the English church. Those who disagreed
with England’s official church were called dissenters (dih•SEHN•tuhrz).
Think, Pair, Share
• Why did the Pilgrim men sign the Mayflower
Compact? (Because the Pilgrims landed beyond
the limits of the Virginia Company, their
charter no longer applied; the compact helped
establish self-government and majority rule.)
Religious Freedom and Self-Government In the early 1600s, another
dissenting group called the Separatists wanted to separate from the Church
of England. They thought it was still too much like the Catholic Church.
King James persecuted (PUR•sih•KYOOT•ted), or mistreated, the Separatists
for rejecting England’s official church. To escape this persecution, they fled
tolerance, or acceptance of different
to Holland, a country known for its tolerance

American Squanto help the Pilgrims survive?
