If Jesus was born on the Mayflower would we still have both Thanksgiving and Christmas?

jesus wasnt born on the mayflower.....


wait, was he?

If Jesus was born on the Mayflower would we still have both Thanksgiving and Christmas?
jesus was also not born anywhere near Christmas.
Reply:I'm not sure how this is philosophy!?





But christmas is a pagan ritual anyways? So even if Jesus was born in another time/somewher else we'd still have christmas, because it was stolen from pagans and put around the same time as their celebration.





No one really knows when jesus was born.

Really don't think it would have changed to much..probably about the same..


What was the goal of the mayflower compact?

K....um so im doing homework and really am very bad at social studies.....help???.....

What was the goal of the mayflower compact?
the mayflower compact was a document that 41 male passenger of the Mayflower signed on nov 21, 1620. this was set out rules by which the pilgrims agreed to govern themselves. in it the signers agreed to have fair laws to protect the general good.





important note**this was one of the first attempts at self government in the english colonies.


What was the purpose of the Mayflower compact?

1. To promise to write a constitution within five years


2. To establish freedom of religion


3. To establish a new king


4. To proclaim allegiance to the king

What was the purpose of the Mayflower compact?
The answer is 4!
Reply:4.


There was no government, thus some of the colonists thought they could leave and do what they pleased. The Mayflower Compact was written as a temporary form of government until an official form came from England.
Reply:Well the ONLY one of your choices that fits is #4. But that is a VERY poor answer. Of course the document framed their whole venture as,


* "undertaken for the Glory of God, and Advancement of the Christian Faith, and the Honour of our King and Country" (note it is NOT just about the King and not specifically "to declare allegiance to him")





But that is NOT the specific purpose of the Compact itself. The answer to that question is found in the basic statement "we. .. do. . . ". Here is the main part. . especially that beginning with the SECOND "do":





"we. . .do. . . covenant and combine ourselves together into a civil Body Politick. . .


And by Virtue hereof do enact, constitute, and frame, such just and equal Laws, Ordinances, Acts, Constitutions, and Officers, from time to time, as shall be thought most meet and convenient for the general Good of the Colony; unto which we promise all due Submission and Obedience."

The point then was to pledge to form a GOVERNMENT to frame just laws which they all agree to follow.





Note that a key reason for all this was to keep the group TOGETHER. There was some fear that some members of the crew would wander off on their own.

Why do people on the mayflower make the dangerous journey?

There were primarily two reasons.





1) Religious reasons. England was becoming more and more Protestant, so prosecuted Catholics wanted to escape to the colonies.





2) Land was very scarce and peasants wanted a better life for themselves. They saw that they could become the aristocracy (over African slaves) if they moved to the 13 colonies.

Why do people on the mayflower make the dangerous journey?
The Pilgrims began as a religious group who felt that the only way to practice their religion was to separate from the Church of England.


These "Separatists" centered around Scrooby, a village in Nottinghamshire in the English Midlands.


In 1607/8, the congregation moved to Amsterdam and in 1609 to the city of Leiden in the more religiously tolerant Netherlands.


The community began to move to America in 1620.


The first four ships were the Mayflower (1620), the Fortune (1621), the Anne and the Little James (1623).


Eighteenth-century Plymoutheans frequently referred to the early colonists as "Forefathers."


The term "Pilgrims," referring to religious travelers, was not generally used to describe the early Plymouth colonists until the early 1800s, when Governor Bradford’s phrase, "they knew they were Pilgrims" began to be quoted.
Reply:To escape Religious prosecution
Reply:To escape religious persecution meaning they were driven away because of thier religious beliefs, race, etc. The same thing happened to the Mormons - that's why they live in Utah. Prosecution is legal proceedings against a defendant for criminal behavior: something that happenis in court and involves layers and such
Reply:For religious freedom, and to become protestants.
Reply:All above answers are right. However, I believe they were from Holland, not refugees from England at the time.
