Overall findings summary

In the four sources I read I found many new interesting facts about the religious ways in Plymouth.  It shocked me that the pilgrims were actually segregated from other colonies bc of what they believed in.  I knew that the settlers came to the Americas for religious freedom but I didn't know that they were so diverse that if you were a different type of Christian that you had to settle in a certain type of colony.  One source showed me how the different types of religions over the years finally came together to make a whole country.  The other sources mainly talked about the life in a colony that is based on religion . Another fact that surprised me was the the church was the main point in the town it was the courthouse and the meeting place for the town. Now a days the church is separate from government and court systems I thought that was a very cool thing to know.  Before this project I thought that the pilgrims were just some funny looking people in black hats but now I understand the role of religion in Plymouth.
