At the port of Plymouth, after much disputing about what they should do, some of the passengers from the Speedwell were transferred to the Mayflower, and on September 6th, 102 Pilgrims left England across the turbulent ocean. When the Pilgrims landed they wrote the Mayflower Compact.

The document was called the Mayflower Compact because it was drafted and signed on the Mayflower ship in 1620 by the Pilgrims who were seeking religious freedom in the New World. The compact served as a governing agreement among the settlers, establishing rules and laws for their new colony.
