Q In essay #11 of "Accessible American History," I contrast the founders of the Plymouth colony with the founders of Jamestown. Which group of people, the Pilgrims (and Puritans) or the founders of Jamestown, do you think are most representative of the nation that we became? Whose motives are the most representative of the various people who came here? Which of these groups of people - and the ways of life that they established - had the most influence on the future development of the English colonies and the United States?
