A desire for religious freedom forces Bradford to flee with the Pilgrims.
His
belief and conviction bring peace and the first Thanksgiving. A lesson
in the value of belief. In 1620, John Carver, William Bradford, Captain
Standish and 99 pilgrims set sail on the Mayflower toward America in
search of religious freedom. As disease and storms hit, they are almost
forced to return.
William Bradford convinces Captain Standish to
press on. The land they choose to build on becomes known as "Plymouth.”
Immediately, winter sets in and the pilgrims face the harsh effects of
weather, hunger and disease. By spring, half of the pilgrims have died.
Soon a lone Indian appears on the horizon. Against Captain Standish’s
wishes, John Carver and William Bradford befriend Samoset. Samoset sends
the English-speaking Squanto and Chief Massasoit to the pilgrims, who
make a peace pact. Squanto and Samoset live with the pilgrims and teach
them how to live off the land. After the first successful crop, Bradford
proposes a "feast of thanksgiving." Thus, William Bradford’s belief
leads him to become the father of Thanksgiving day.
