The Mayflower was the ship that carried the Pilgrims from England to North America in 1620, leading to the establishment of the Plymouth Colony, one of the earliest English settlements in what would become the 13 colonies. The Pilgrims sought religious freedom and self-governance, principles that influenced the development of the colonies. The Mayflower Compact, signed aboard the ship, established a form of self-government and communal agreement that set a precedent for future governance in the colonies. Thus, the Mayflower represents a pivotal moment in the formation of early American society and its colonial foundations.
