When the Puritans settled the Massachusetts Bay Colony in , they arrived in 17 ships carrying more than 1, passengers. They came with money and resources and divinely ordained arrogance. Just 10 years later, the Massachusetts Bay Colony was a Puritan stronghold of 20,, while humble Plymouth was home to just 2, Pilgrims.
Plymouth was fully swallowed up by Mass Bay just a few decades later. Because the Pilgrims and the Puritans share a similar backstory, their legacies often got blurred in the minds of later generations of Americans, and not always accidentally. Writing in , Daniel Webster used the Pilgrims as nostalgic symbols of Manifest Destiny , which was more of a Puritan thing:. And those black hats and buckled shoes? That popular imagery of the Pilgrims was dreamed up in the late 19th- and early 20th century.
