Real History Of The Pilgrims

Most Americans are familar with the story of the Pilgrims. But there's a lot more to the early settlement of the Americas that we are taught in that story.

Join us as we dig into the details of the story and see the human elements. Diplomacy, Strategy, Luck, Incompetence, and Power Plays shape the English entrance into the New World. We present a series of multi-word jumble puzzles - each puzzle focuses on a key element of the story. Each puzzle comes with a description about the people, places, and trends at work.

Spoilers (Puzzle Context)

Within the year, Massasoit had need of his allies. A renegade sachem named Corbitant began to undermine Massasoit's leadership. Corbitant worked to turn the people of Nemasket against Massasoit in the Pokanoket village of Nemasket, now the site of Middleborough, Massachusetts, about 14 miles (23 km) west of Plymouth. When Squanto and one of Massasoit's advisors arrived to resolve the problem, Squanto was taken captive.

The Pilgrim response was immediate.A party of ten men, under the leadership of Myles Standish, set out to find and execute Corbitant. Arriving at the village, they planned and executed a night attack, bursting into the dwelling the renegade chief was supposedly sleeping in. While they didn't find Corbitant, they made their point.

Nine local sachems arrived in Plymouth the following month to sign a treaty that pledged their loyalty to King James.
