As with most early voyages to the United States, sex was often a factor not taken into account. STDs were rampant among the many brave men who first sailed in the Mayflower, which eventually led to their deaths since at the time the only form of medical treatment for STDs at the time was being burned at the stake.

Why did the Voyage of the Mayflower take place?
The majority of the passengers on the Mayflower were English religious Puritans who had been living in The Netherlands in order to enjoy the religious freedom that was a available to them there but not in England. However, they did not like the cultural assimilation that was impacting their community, so they obtained from the King of England a grant of lands to settle in America. They hired the Mayflower to take them there. The voyage occurred because that was how they traveled to America.

no because the Jamestown settlers came before the Mayflower people. -- BTW not true. Absolutely not! There is proof that the Vikings were in North America long before The Mayflower; also the Spanish settlement of St. Augustine was before the Mayflower time. Finally there is some proof and stories that Zheng He came to North America. I believe there is an excavation going on right now in Washington that is digging up a ship that may have been his.
