The journey could be very brutal, depending on what group you went on. The Mayflower had many people who got sick on the voyage, and the first person to die was William Butten, just three days before the shore was spotted. They arrived in what is now known as Plymouth, Massachusetts. The people who settled here were looking for religious freedom, while other settlers in southern areas were looking for profit going towards Britain.
Another ship settled Jamestown. This ship began its voyage in December 1606 and arrived in what is now Virginia in April of 1607. The ships used an established southerly route in order to catch favorable trade winds and ocean currents, as well as to make re-provisioning stops in the Canary Islands and the Caribbean. After spending six weeks in the “Downs” in the English Channel waiting for winds, the ships headed south along the coast of Europe and North Africa, stopping at the Canary Islands. They then turned west to the Caribbean, making several stops. Finally, the ships sailed north, parallel to the coast of North America, ending in Virginia. The entire trip was more than 6,000 miles.

I trust “<u>Source 1</u>”
<u>Explanation</u>:
I would trust the Source 1 i.e., the “Sworn testimony by American Sergeant in Congressional hearings in 1969” more because a sworn testimony is a gold evidence for the Congressional hearings. It won’t affect a person i.e., the Sergeant in any way. Maybe the testimony can get corrupted by lying, forcing and constraining, and the shaking the human memory. But in a speech by the General can affect his reputation as he can hid the truth and lie in his speech. So, the sworn testimony is more reliable than the speech.
