Explanation:

The first permanent English settlement in North America was Plymouth (1620). In the Plymouth colony, the Pilgrims faced problems such as diseases and bad weather. The Pilgrims owed money to the Plymouth Company which financed their trip to America, but could not make any profit through fishing and agriculture because of these unfavorable conditions.
