Question : What serious problem did the pilgrims face when they landed on November 11 and how did they solve this problem ?
My Answer :
What was the problem ?
They had drifted off course and had landed north of the original place where they were suppose to settle with also winter fast approaching; by staying where they were.
They also faced : 1. Disease
2. Indian attack
3. Malnutrition
4. Starvation
5. Unfamilliar weather
Most of these problems they couldn't solve, like disease, attack, starvation, and weather. The early colonists weren't very willing to work. They thought America was a continuous land of bounty from which they could reap the harvest. Well...it wasn't. A lot of people starved to death. On top of that, they were constantly worried about Indian attack...and they had the right to be. None of the Indians wanted to give up their land and share their resources with a strange invader
Europeans were originally motivated to explore the seas to discover previously unknown lands, especially after the contact with America, where europeans found all kind of valuable goods. The portuguese were the first to pursue maritime exploration, soon to be followed by the spaniards.
