	Who Were the Pilgrims? Plymouth Rock Foundation (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		The Pilgrims were a humble, honest, stout-hearted people who simply believed that human beings have the right to worship God according the dictates of conscience, as they perceive the Bible’s direction and Christ’s leading.
		As a serious student of history for the past forty years, I sincerely believe that in all probability the Plymouth of the Pilgrims was one of the most peaceful, orderly and free communities on the face of the earth.
		To sum it up, I would say the Pilgrims were the first people to not merely verbalize but actually realize, to demonstrate over a span of decades, in their own lives as individuals and as a whole community, the unique American identity as an exceptionally free, orderly, and essentially devout people.
