Dansk - Engelsk Translation

I året 1620 landede en lille gruppe englændere på Amerikas østkyst i det nuværende Massachusetts. De tilhørte forskellige Calvinisistiske trosretninger, havde hjemme i England gjort oprør mod den anglikanske kirke og havde derfor måttet forlade England. De drog først til Leyden i Holland, men opdagede snart, at de heller ikke der kunne undgå forfølgelse.

På skibet Mayflower sejlede 102 puritanere, pilgrimsfædrene, som de senere blev kaldt, over Atlanterhavet til Amerika for der at finde den religiøse frihed, som de havde savnet i Europa. De havde fået økonomisk bistand til rejsen fra The London Company, som drev kolonien Virginia, en englesk koloni, som allerede klarede sig godt ved tobakshandel. Puritanerne satte kursen mod denne koloni, men de nåede aldrig Virginia. De blev slået ud af kurs og landede syd for det, der i dag er Boston, og grundlagde en koloni, som de kaldte Plymouth Plantion.

In the year 1620, a small group of Englishmen landed on America's east coast what is now called Massachusetts. They belonged to different Calvinistic creeds, which back home in England, made rebellion against the Anglican church and therefore had to leave England. They first went to Leyden in Holland, but discovered soon that they could not avoid persecution either.

On the ship, Mayflower sailed 102 Puritans, the Pilgrim Fathers, as they were later called, over the Atlantic to the Americas for there to find the religious freedom as they had missed in Europe. They had obtained economic assistance to the journey from The London Company, which drove the colony Virginia and was eager to support the immigration to Virginia, an English colony that already performed well in tobacco trade. The Puritans set the course against this colony, but they never reached Virginia. They were knocked out the course and landed south, of what is today called Boston, and established a colony, which they called Plymouth Plantation.
