The Mayflower Compact referred to Virginia because the Pilgrims originally intended to settle within the Virginia Company's territory, which encompassed parts of the eastern United States. However, due to navigational errors, they landed in what is now Massachusetts. The Compact was created to establish a framework for governance and social order among the settlers, as they recognized the need for cooperation and unity in an unfamiliar land that was outside their intended destination. Thus, they invoked Virginia to legitimize their settlement and authority.
