The first colony in New England (present-day eastern Massachusetts) was founded by the Pilgrim Fathers, who traveled to America on the Mayflower in 1620. Although they were unable to obtain a Royal Charter, the Mayflower Compact was drafted and signed on November 11 of the same year, which became the legal basis for colonial rule. The winter in the New World was harsh, and about half of the people fell ill. With the help of the Native Americans, the people began farming, and had their first harvest the following fall, but food shortages continued for several years.

1620年,メーフラワー号でアメリカへ渡航したピルグリム・ファーザーズらが建設した,ニューイングランドにおける最初の植民地(現在のマサチューセッツ州東部)。彼らは勅定特許状Royal Charterを取得できなかったが,同年11月11日〈メーフラワー・コンパクト〉が起草・署名され,これが植民地支配の法的源泉となった。新大陸の冬は厳しく,約半数の人々が病で倒れた。人々はインディアンの協力を得て農業を開始し,翌年秋には最初の収穫を手にしたが,食料不足はなお数年続いた。
