As early as 1620, some Puritans who were persecuted by religion in England came to America by boat. But the winter of that year made them encounter an insurmountable dilemma. Hunger and cold killed half of them. At this time, kind Indians brought them necessities of life and taught them survival skills such as planting and hunting.
