Alright so the Mayflower was the ship that transported colonists from Europe to America, but more specifically transported them to Plymouth Massachusetts. We can safely eliminate option B as it wasn't in Virginia. We can also eliminate Option D because the Mayflower Compact was much earlier than Benjamin Franklin's prominence. We can also eliminate option A as the ship the Mayflower and the Mayflower compact are not the same thing. Finally, we can eliminate option E because the Pilgrims were English colonists and wouldn't have filed grievances for many more years after their colonies were established. With all of this information what do you think the answer is?
