Mayflower Compact

Japanese: メーフラワー・コンパクト(英語表記)Mayflower Compact
Mayflower Compact
Also known as the Mayflower Compact, it is a contract made by the Pilgrim Fathers aboard the Mayflower when they founded the Plymouth Colony to form a civil body politic. Some of the English Puritans who advocated separating from the Church of England and forming an independent church escaped to the Netherlands in 1608 in search of religious freedom. In order to form their own society, 102 people eventually set sail for America via England in September 1620 with financial support from London investors.
