Desperate Crossing: The Untold Story of the Mayflower

The Mayflower Compact

The Mayflower wasn’t supposed to land in Massachusetts. Their contract was with the Virginia Company — but storms pushed them north, outside the reach of English law. Half the passengers weren’t even Pilgrims, and some started saying, “We’re not bound by any rules.” So before they went ashore, they wrote the Mayflower Compact — a survival pact, not a freedom charter. It’s remembered as the birth of democracy, but in reality? It was a quick attempt to keep control in a broken business deal. #Risi
