A History Lesson for your Pilgrim Costume
In case you don’t remember anything from your grade school classes, you might want to brush up on your early American history in order to bring some more authority to your pilgrim costume. In 1620, the first European settlers fled to what is now the United Sates. They were fleeing religious persecution under Queen Elizabeth I and her successor, King James I. The pilgrims came to the New World seeking freedom of religion, and when they disembarked from the Mayflower and landed at Plymouth Rock, they found it.
