Over the course of the first winter spent in the New World, the temperature fell well below what the Pilgrims were prepared to deal with. Additionally, they were unprepared with foodstuffs. Consequently, the Pilgrims died of either hypothermia, complications of frostbite, malnutrition, pneumonia or other illnesses, or any combination of these.

Yes, many Pilgrims died the first winter. In fact, about half of them died. In fact, approximately 82 of them died the first winter. In fact, I say in fact a lot, don`t I? lol...
The Wampanoag tribe played a pivotal role in the Pilgrims' survival of their first winter in the New World. Thanksgiving did not become an official American holiday until the time of the Civil War, when Abraham Lincoln thought it was a way to bring people together. The Pilgrims arrived cold and sick; many members of their group did not survive the voyage. There were abandoned Native American settlements and burial grounds in the area and several Pilgrims tried to scavenge for food and supplies.
The pilgrims faced many diseases. Many of them died in winter of either the cold or the diseases.

False because during the winter half of them died.
Of the 102 passengers on the Mayflower, 2 died before landing at present-day Cape Cod. They spent the winter on the Mayflower, since they did not have housing, and after suffering scurvy, pneumonia and tuberculosis, only 53 were alive in the spring.45 of the 102 emigrants died in the first winter. By Thanksgiving there were only 53 people left to celebrate.
an opinion about the first winter of pilgrims
The first winter for the pilgrims was almost unbearable. Many houses were not finished, so men and women stayed aboard the ship in order to keep warm and dry. Almost half of all of the pilgrims died that first winter of exposure or starvation.

Because they had a harsh winter and many pilgrims died
The pilgrims life was easy and hard. It was easy because the Native Americans gave the pilgrim food when the pilgrims came to America. It was also hard because many pilgrims died when it was winter at America.
