Question

Was it an advantage or disadvantage to allow men,women, and children to colonize Plymouth?

Answer 1

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

It was an advantage for men, women, and children.

The people who founded the colony of Plymouth, in Cape Cod, Massachusetts, were known as Pilgrims. They belonged to the English Separatist Church that had many differences with the Church of England. This created a problem for them. They were being persecuted and they decided to leave England to find a new place to safely grow their children and can practice their strict religious teachings.  

That is why they traveled on the Mayflower ship to the North American coasts. When they arrived at North America in 1620, they had to endure harsh weather conditions and make friends with the Native America Indians to establish the firsts English colony in Massachusets. In the end, it represented an advantage for Pilgrims and they started a new life there.
