Question

Why do you think Bradford recorded this information about the Pilgrims?

Please answer.

Thanks!

Answer 1

To document what the pilgrims went through.

Answer 2

William Bradford kept a journal of life with the Pilgrims for two main reasons:

1. He made comparisons between his writings and the bible, he compared their journey with that what was written in the holy book.

2. The journal was made to be sent back to Netherland so that the separatists knew whats was like living in the New World.

Hope this helps!
