After five grueling months at sea, a small group of soldiers, laborers, and aristocrats from England completed a 3000-mile journey across the Atlantic and stepped off their ship to greet an unfamiliar new land.

This set of primary resources includes images and documents that provide a window into this time period, as well as a Teacher's Guide with historical context and teaching suggestions.
