at that place were several dfferent classes of people who settled in the colonies of northwesterly the States. They all see hard moves along the way, though some experiences were milder than others. One perspective of someone who had a decent experience. was William Bradford. He was one of the leaders among the group of religious, freedom-seeking people, called Pilgrims, who arrived in America on the Mayflower. Their trip was non as smooth as It seemed though. Their ship had gotten off-course several times, as a result of the violent storms that took place.Consequently, in nastiness f the patent (which had originally granted them to settle in Virginia), they terminate up subsiding their colony in what they called Plymouth (Massachusetts). This lead to a serial of conflicts between the group of land-seeking people and the religious people. The land-seeking people argued that they were not echo by the terms of the patent, and thus no one had the power to keep them. As a compro mise, Bradford and the other leaders created an agreement called the Mayflower Compact, which utter that members of the colony had to form a civic body politic, and obey by the laws for the good of the colony.Bradford later went on become governor of the Plymouth Colony. Another perspective, is of Olaudah Equiano, who served as an African slave and came to the America not by choice, but by force. Born in Africa to a village chief, Equiano was suppose to follow in his fathers footsteps. However, at age 11 he was kidnapped and askew Into a displace slave ship with Inhumane conditions.

HIS fate was lucky, compared to others who would, along w ith their children. never know freedom again. Lastly, a slightly better experience of settling in the colonies would be Matthew Lyon, who was one of the many indentured servants who voluntarily concord to trade their freedom for a trip to America. Lyon was a fourteen year old at the time, but his intelligence allowed him to persuade the ship skipper to say he was eighteen (through bribery), which lessened his service time to three- ears.However, because of his cleverness, he once again was able to shorten his service time. After a year of service, he convinced a farmer to give him cardinal bulls, promlslng to pay off the debt when he was free. With the bulls now In his possession. he was then able to sell the bulls to his master in exchange for his freedom. From the on, he was free, and later working off the debt he owed the farmer, Lyon went on to first become a ironworker, then an officer in the army, and eventually, the legislator of Vermont.As you can see, there were many v arious types of people with a wide ange of perspectives, who settled in the colonies of North America.
