What were some things the Pilgrims/the first english puritans encountered that were bad when they landed?
grandymaker [24]

Fear of starvation--after a long ship journey and the ship getting off of route, the Puritans were running out of supplies. Upon arrival Puritans needed food and needed to get settled quickly. The first winter was the hardest on the Puritans and many died due to cold and lack of food.

Encounters with Native Americans--though the tribes the Puritans encountered were friendlier than others, they were unknown to Puritans, others than stories and books written by earlier explorers. Violence would be experienced between the two cultures. Much of the violence centered on competition for food and resources.

What are 5 facts about iron plow
Triss [41]
Newbold Plow - cast iron plow by Charles Newbold
The Newbold Plow
The plow evolved from the all-wood designs of antiquity, to the use of iron parts. In 1720, the first English patent for a wooden moldboard sheathed with iron was issued to Joseph Foljambe. From that the evolution to plows made with cast iron moldboards and shares occurred in Scotland in 1785 by James Small. These cast iron plows were then imported to the U.S.

Charles Newbold, born in Chesterfield, NJ (1780), spent his teenage years investigating the use of cast iron to improve on the heavy iron-clad wooden plow then available. He was issued the first US patent for a plow on 26 Jun 1797. The plow was cast as one piece—the moldboard, share, and land-side all cast together—with wooden handles and beam added.
