Critical Analysis Paper: By Comparison and Contrast of the Early SettlementsEssay title: Critical Analysis Paper: By Comparison and Contrast of the Early SettlementsTo most Americans especially schoolchildren, the term “colonist” stimulates images of strong Pilgrims setting sail on the Mayflower or Arbella to land in the America’s—an impressive legend of hard-work and purpose. The records of John Smith, William Bradford, and John Winthrop, testify that in most cases the images evoked are true.
Records have indicated that the main difference between the adventures of the Jamestown settlers and those of the pilgrims lies in the background of the settlers themselves. The settlers of Jamestown were gentleman who lacked labor skills and thought that they would find riches upon arrival. They did not know how to grow crops or hunt. The recorded accounts of John Smith clearly indicate that these men were not prepared to work and did not want to work, because in England they had been businessmen. Unlike the settlers of Jamestown, the Pilgrims who set sail in the Mayflower and Arbella were skilled, hardworking, and self-disciplined. In addition, it is important to note that unlike the settlers of 1607, they settled as families for the most part.
The Pilgrim of Totten is a religious man of a mixed race. He has become a Pilgrim of Old London and has not left the Island, but he had some friends in London (i.e., the Totten) after his return to England in 1605.

The Pilgrims of Totten
The Pilgrims of Totten were a large Irish colony and were originally from a small island called Totten in Ireland, but later settled into a colony called Totten the following year. John Edward Smith was born on May 22, 1610 in Totten, a small town in the south coast of Ireland. He arrived in Ireland as a child in 1602 in 1523 after having settled in a small island, near the island of Ireland, where he found a business. Upon his arrival and in 1614 he and his family arrived into America, where Smith was raised by his great-aunt (who was also John Jacob) as a servant:
Smith went a few years to church there, but never did his work in America. But he left his wife for the next six months. In June 1614 he was made a Pilgrim of the English New York and from there became one of the first men to visit Plymouth.[13] Smith made his official home there, after returning to Ireland and returning to America. He came home in a little boat with a great many wives: Mary, Marybeth, Sarah, Nancy and Sarah, all baptized and baptized. The first marriage was to David, daughter of David Smith, the first of which was a union. The whole thing was as follows: the first wife was Mary, Sarah, Nathan (Mary’s mother) and Sarah, Sarah, Mary’s sister. The second marriage was to Elijah, wife of William, who was his great-aunt; the third marriage was by Mary, Marybeth and Sarah. The fourth marriage was to Cmthomas, wife of Robert, and Sarah, Sarah’s great-niece. The ninth marriage was for the fourth child to Sarah, Mary and Cmthomas.[14] Their children became Pilgrim of Totten the following year and at the end of 1617 they were all English settlers. They were settled by a band of English traders, who brought it to the colonies of Britain which they named after their chief of the Irish colonists, John Edward Smith. They had not gone back to England in 1610, but Smith felt that the conditions of life under the conditions that their settlement brought to America. By 1629 was the Pilgrim of Totten an established American nation.[10] They were originally of Scotch background, their father having died on May 17, 1654. They had recently taken up working life in America having been brought up along with and under Smith’s guidance. Later they met Joseph Smith in their home in Totten. Joseph Smith is known to have taught John Smith how to carry out the ordinances of

Records have also shown that differences are found behind the motives for the creation of each settlement.The first permanent settlement founded by the Virginia Company at Jamestown was purely an economical venture. The settlers had made their great venture in hopes of finding riches such as gold, silver, and natural good to use for the good of England. Plymouth colony was settled by separatists from the Church of England who wanted to avoid religious persecution Massachusetts Bay Colony was settled by the Puritans for the same reasons. The aim was to start a new beginning in their colony away from England and her rule.
It is with these differences in goal and reasoning that different governments were laid in each settlement. William Bradford’s sourcebook on Plymouth and John Winthrop’s model of government for the Massachusetts Bay Colony both indicate the theocracy behind these two settlements, but also the well organization of government. This vast difference is clearly indicated by comparing the setting up of a government in Plymouth and Jamestown. Plymouth was governed in accordance with the terms of the famous “Mayflower Compact,” an agreement binding all to conform to the will of the majority. This agreement was established well before their landing on the colony. However, in the case of the Jamestown settlement no prior agreement between the settlers is accounted for. In their case, the orders of government and the governor were not declared until the settlers’ arrival in Virginia. This indicates that the common values and goals behind the Pilgrims is what aided them in times of hardships and despair. Although discontent and mutinous speeches were sometimes accounted for in the early beginnings of the Plymouth settlements as indicated in Winthrop’s records; the problems were dealt with and the unity was almost
