The first English pilgrims came to the United States when they left England in search of a better life and the opportunity to be free from the King of England’s rule. When they first arrived, the Pilgrims struggled with great difficulties to survive, but luckily for them the Local Native Americans had helped them by showing the Pilgrims how to harvest corn, hunt, and plant. The Pilgrims and the Native Americans then had a great celebration to honor their friendship and the bounty that they had hunted and reaped.
