Did the pilgrims could have survived without the assistance of Squanto or massasoit?

Asked by Wiki User

It is unlikely that the Pilgrims would have survived without the assistance of Squanto and Massasoit. Squanto, an English-speaking Native American, taught the Pilgrims important skills such as farming and fishing, while Massasoit, the leader of the Wampanoag tribe, formed a peace treaty with the Pilgrims and provided them with crucial support. Without their help, the Pilgrims would have struggled to adapt to the unfamiliar environment and establish successful settlements.

Chief Massasoit, also known as Ousamequin, was the leader of the Wampanoag tribe. He played a crucial role in the founding of the United States because he signed a peace treaty with the Pilgrims in 1621, known as the First Thanksgiving. This alliance helped ensure the survival of the Pilgrims in Plymouth Colony and established peaceful relations between the Wampanoag tribe and early European settlers in the region. Massasoit's diplomacy and cooperation were instrumental in the early years of European colonization in New England.

Asked by Wiki User

In the United Kingdom, assuming the serviceman is deceased, you need to contact the Army Medals Office (use the Internet initially) and provide as much information as possible, including full name, service number, unit (Ship/Regiment/Squadron etc.) and your own relationship to the deceased serviceman, medals aren't handed out to just anyone! Inevitably their are forms to complete, generally no fees.

Why did squanto die?

Asked by Wiki User

Unlikely, Squanto died under mysterious circumstances. His only recorded symptom was a nose bleed. his condition is sometimes referred to as "Indian fever." It is very unlikely that it was small pox. Squanto had been exposed to many Europeans during his lifetime. He traveled to England and Spain. It seems that if small pox was going to kill him, it would have done so long ago.

From Mayflower History.comOn one trip to trade for some corn seed for the subsequent growing season, he went with Governor Bradford south on the ocean-side of Cape Cod, and they pulled into Manamoyick Bay because of dangerous weather conditions. There, in November 1622, Squanto's nose began to bleed. He told Governor Bradford it was a sign among the Indians of death. He asked Bradford to pray for him so that he could go to the Englishman's God in Heaven when he died, and asked Bradford to give various things as gifts to his English friends back at Plymouth. Within a few days, he was dead. From Bradford's History of the English Settlement"Here Bay Squanto fell ill of Indian fever, bleeding much at the nose,--which the Indians take as a symptom of death,--and within a few days he died. He begged the Governor to pray for him, that he might go to the Englishman's God in heaven, and bequethed several of his things to his English friends, as remembrances. His death was a great loss."

What would have happend to the pilgrims if Squanto didnt helped them?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

definitely not!

They pilgrims learned to fertilize the soil with fish remains from Squanto. He helped establish relations with the Wampanoag Indians. Conditions in the colony began to improve with Swuanto.

-B-

the pilgrims were failing to get enough food when they came to America... the natives helped them by showing them corn and how to raise crops in the rocky new England soil... the pilgrims were also not used to the MA weather and had no idea what to do,.. so they usually sat around idly.

The natives gave all their knowledge about surviving in new England to the pilgrims and in return the pilgrims killed them off.

Squanto was a Native American who helped the English colonists in Massachusetts develop agricultural techniques and served as an interpreter between the colonists and the Wampanoag. He taught the English how to plant and find food. Also to hunt. He was one of the few who spoke English. The corn was very important to the Americans survival.
