Mayflower Compact

Mayflower Compact
|Updated:

I was interested in reading the article “The Mayflower Compact,” written by Lawrence W. Reed [published in the Nov. 18 edition]. It presents a glowing report on how people with different philosophies can get together to achieve an amicable agreement.

However, it glossed over the fact that the Mayflower Compact was the fundamental reason that half of the Plymouth Colony residents starved to death during the first year of its existence.
