Who were the Pilgrims and Puritans?
The pilgrims and puritans were pioneers of the new world, this America. Coming from 1600s Britain, many of them were seeking freedom from their past lives, from the government, to find a new way of life, a more pure and sure one.
Pilgrims were separatists from the Church of England, settling in Plymouth in the 1620s, while the puritans joined in 1630 to establish the Massachusets bay colony.
What role did they play in American Journalism?
The real question is: What role didn't they play in all of America? The modern #1 nation wouldn't exist without them! They were egregious se*ist and racist monsters, that never stopped them from doing something great. Aboard the boat, a few of them had an idea and, when they came to dry land, they all signed a document in the government of our now-country, affecting journalism and many other things for years to come.
