Make that eventual success. About half of the original colony at Plymouth died the first winter from scurvy and other diseases.
The agreement known as the Mayflower Compact was instrumental in holding the group together. The alliance and help from the Wampanoag tribe was crucial to the survival of the colony, especially as most knew nothing about agriculture or the corn and beans which they would need for food.

the plymouth colony, like it's counterpart - the dodge outpost - owed it's success to a compacty fitted v-8 engine, which gave the vehicle high power and exhilirating pick up but still left plenty of room in the cab for pilgrims and colonists to bring along indian friends, cows, chickens, bales of hay, barrels of corn, baskets of fish. very puritanical in its efficiency and work ethic. and in its utter disregard for the environment. later, the pilgrims found it was very useful for wholesale deforestation of the northeastern america's, and for running over natives who would not willfully leave their own lands.
