There had already been some dissension on board the Mayflower, when some let it be known they had no obligation to obey the rules of the Pilgrims. As a result, they decided to make the Pilgrims responsible for their behavior, by preparing and getting them to sign the Mayflower Compact. Once ashore the hardships began with nearly half of their number being wiped out due to lack of food, disease and exposure.
The Pilgrims, aka Pilgrim Fathers, landed at Plymouth Rock (Massachusetts) in 1620. They were mostly Brownist English Dissenters, who (while generally Calvinist in their beliefs) wanted to be separate from the Church of England.
