Bradford’s Of Plymouth Plantation is an important piece of the history as it elaborates when and how the Puritans sailed to settle in America. Beginning in 1630, this literary work assists Historians as a primary source to correct the later myths related to the American continent. They settled down in the east coast of the young colony.  

The Puritans believed in sober living. Bradford was the first to govern this colony. He trusted that pacing the material prosperity will bring in a diversion in the attention people were paying to God. The narrative reflects the desire of maintaining a simple living environment across the colony. The portrayal of the strict beliefs of the Puritans in regards to the religion suggests that their mentality still radiated the British roots. Although, that fades with time.  

However, the book is not entirely based on talks of religion but is narrated in the form of a historical research which describes the establishment and governance, as well as their move to the new coast. But certainly, we see a change in thinking of the Puritans as we witness them inculcating gentle behavior and compassionate personalities. Bradford, especially, portrays this change in his lines for Roger Williams who was banished for his improper religious beliefs. We notice how the writer pities the guy and asks the Lord to show him the correct way, unlike the stereotypical Puritan believers who were much more disciplinary and critical.  

To conclude, the complete work highlights the faith and drift in the mentality of the new Americans. Moreover, the work is very important and helps to falsify all myths. Historians and scholars must thank Bradford for his primary source to look into the conditions of America, at that time.
