Answer:
The Pilgrims and Puritans came to America to practice religious freedom. ... The Pilgrims had a long and difficult journey across the Atlantic Ocean. A storm blew them off course so instead of landing in Virginia, they landed further north in Cape Cod. The Pilgrims decided to settle in this area and called it Plymouth.
Explanation:
The weather was much colder than what the Pilgrims had prepared for and the first winter was devastating. The Pilgrims struggled to build homes, and many families crowded into the few homes that were built. Food was scarce, and many Pilgrims starved to death that first winter.
Some people died. Some people were seasick. Other people became sick because there was not good food to eat. Because the journey took longer than they thought it would, the passengers and the sailors ran out of good food.
The bombing of Pearl Harbor brought the United States into WW2. The United States stayed out of the way until this event because it was the breaking point for the nation. America had been attacked without what they deemed was a good reason and hundreds had been killed and injured.
