How many pilgrims survived the first winter (1620-1621)?
The amount of colonists that survived decreased to lower than 60
Why did half the Plymouth colonists died the first winter?
The colonists died for several reasons. Disease was one major cause, starvation, and accidents. They had to live on the ship at first because they had to build homes. If they didn't bring something they had to do without it or make it. They were in a new land far from family and civilization. One story I read about was a couple was getting a divorce so the husband put his 2 young daughters on the ship by themselves to get revenge on the mother. They were the first to die.
When the Pilgrims founded Plymouth colony but what specific successes and hardships did they experience?
The hardship did they experienced was that when they first arrived at Plymouth it was winter they had troubled planting crops and building homes. First winter was difficult there wasn't enough food and houses needed to be constructed, and almost half of the Pilgrims died from starvation and disease. The success was that when Spring came crops and plants were planted and they were helped by the Native Americans.
In 1621 who proclaimed an entire day of rejoicing in celebration of the first successful harvest for the people of the Massachusetts colony?
The proclamation was made by colonial Governor William Bradford, who was elected the leader of the Plymouth colony after John Carver died in the winter of 1620-1621, along with nearly half of the colonists.
How many people died in the first winter in Jamestown?
There were 102 colonists and 52 died the first winter. In an attempt to conceal their growing weakness the Pilgrims tried to bury them secretly in unmarked graves. Their burial place was not discovered until their bones were revealed after a torrential rainstorm one hundred years later. Captain Christopher Jones had intended to start back to England in the Mayflower as soon as the Pilgrims found a settling place, but his crew was also ravaged by disease. Perhaps half of the Mayflower's crew died as well before Jones started the return voyage in the spring of 1621. Jones himself died within about another two years, perhaps worn out by the privations and exertions of that hard winter at Plymouth colony.
