More than just as symbol of Thanksgiving, the Pilgrims and their life in the New World served as a building block to what would become the United States. Plymouth never numbered more than 10,000 people during its slightly over 70 years as a separate colony before being absorbed by Massachusetts Bay. Yet, during this short span of years, it laid the foundation for the future United States with four key principles: 1 - Christian Foundation; 2 - Representative Government; 3 - Market Economics; and 4 - Military Defense. In governing their colony, the Pilgrims made some false starts and some policies had to be corrected. In economics, for example, they learned, grew and continue to inspire those who study them. Join Dr. John Pafford for this in-depth look at the Pilgrims and their role in American history.
