1. the first English settlements appeared in America at the beginning of the 17th century. On the 6th of September in 1620 a group of people left England for the New World. They sailed from Plymouth, on boqard the ship "Mayflower." They wnated to start a new life and have no problems with the church. They landed in the Northeast of america. There were 74 men and 28 women. They set up a colony and called that part of a country New England

2. On November 9, 1620, they sighted present-day Cape Cod. They spent several days trying to sail south to their planned destination of the Colony of Virginia, where they had obtained permission to settle from the Company of Merchant Adventurers. However, strong winter seas forced them to return to the harbor at Cape Cod hook, well north of the intended area, where they anchored on November 11. The settlers wrote and signed the Mayflower Compact after the ship dropped anchor at Cape Cod, in what is now Provincetown Harbor, in order to establish legal order and to quell increasing strife within the ranks.
