WHAT STUDENTS LEARN 

The driving question of the video is "How did Puritan beliefs shape the development of New England?" It teaches how religious discrimination against the Pilgrims and Puritans led them to migrate to the New World. Covering essential topics like Mayflower Compact, how Squanto the Wampanoags helped the Pilgrims at Plymouth survive, John Winthrop's City Upon a Hill, the Pequot War, and how Puritan beliefs led to close-knit towns with schools, townhall meetings, and churches. It teaches students how seeds of democracy were planted in New England but also repressive measures like taxes to support the church and limited voting to church members led others to challenge authority and start new colonies like the more liberal Connecticut and Roger Williams founding Rhode Island to be a safe haven for misfits and free thinkers.
