Knowledge Answers
1.) The Pilgrims were not able to create a colony just north of Jamestown, because their ship changed course. This might have intentional, or just because of a storm.

3.) The Mayflower's journey from Europe to the New World took just over 2 months.
4.) The Mayflower was not comfortable at all. It had three decks. The top deck was for the crew, the middle deck was for passengers, and the lower deck was for storage. The middle deck, where the passengers lived, was only 5 1/2 feet tall.
5.) Yes, the colonists had lots of music.
6.) Yes, there were a lot of indentured servants in New England.
7.) The Puritans believed that everyone should have to work, so yes, everyone worked in Massachusetts Bay Colony.
8.) Before heading to the New World, some Puritans went to the Netherlands. Eventually, they all left, because they didn't like the other religions being practiced.
9.) Violins were very popular at the time. Other instruments included guitars, fiddles, flutes, trumpets, pianos, and trombones.
10.) At first, there were three main foods: beans, pumpkins, and corn. There was also plenty of hunting game.
11.) The Pilgrims started with two ships, but when one of them started leaking, they just took the Mayflower.
