The Pilgrim Fathers
It’s 1603 and King James I is ruling over England and Scotland. His reign is keeping the country under strict religious rule. Violence and fear continue to spread, but everyone is willing to give in to the King. It’s time to find freedom! You will have to be extremely brave if you want to join the adventure to the New World.
