Discusses the Pilgrims' voyage to Plymouth, Massachusetts, and the colony they established after their arrival, aided by Native Americans and governed by an agreement called ...
In November of 1621, passengers aboard the Mayflower ended a grueling Atlantic crossing and reached the New World. They needed to establish their own laws and created a brief document, which has come to be known as the Mayflower Compact. This was the first document written in the colonies to establish a plan for self-government and ensure the rights of its citizens. It became a stepping stone to the formation of the United States Constitution. The history of the people involved, the voyage, the relationships with native Americans, and the successful colony are clearly explained, making this an ideal source for a history curriculum. Excellent photographs and illustrations provide visual details. A glossary, timeline, bibliography references, and an index are included. The resource is a volume from "Cornerstones of Freedom, Second Series." 2003, Childrens Press,

The Mayflower Compact
Sadly, I don't know enough about this topic to really be able to say whether or not this book gives it a broad enough perspective. In 48 pages, it manages to cover the highlights of a 50 year period surrounding the initial recognition of Israel's statehood. It clearly has some biased moments, but takes a more impartial approach than most media coverage. While not necessarily an argument for statehood, it never really shows the solid argument against Israel's creation either. This side is certainly shown, but in no way is it argued.
It's most confusing points come in the presentation of dates. There is a chronology in the back of the book, but this should have been presented throughout the work. With years sometimes progressing with each paragraph, it was very confusing to understand the rapidity and connection between events. A timeline within each chapter would have appropriately summarized what was being detailed.
