Squanto

So, i misread the assignments last week so this is a week late but the one due today was a week early. Talk about oblivious. I decided to research Squanto. He was originally trying to be sold into slavery by Thomas Hunt in Spain but he became free. He did his best to make it back to North America where he lived. During his time in Europe he learned to speak English. When he returned to North America he discovered that his tribe had been wiped by a epidemic caused by the Europeans a year previous. He decided to settle in Plymouth which is where his former village used to be. There, he taught the colonists how to fertilize crops to produce more crops and showed them good places to fish. This was during the first winter for the colonists and it was a very harsh winter at that. Without Squanto, most of the colonists at Plymouth would have died in the very first year.
