In historical accounts the first American stories derived from Puritan writings. Of Plymouth Plantation by William Bradford is important literature because it tells the story of immigrants, which is still common today. The theme of religion implies how God can help people overcome tough obstacles if people keep faith in him. Believing that everything was to Gods will made it easier to except all their misfortunes of all the events happening in America.

The Puritans overcame many challenges whether on land or sea based on solid faith in God. By making it to Cape Harbor safely after the terrible storm made the Puritans first believe that God was helping them overcome these obstacles. The Puritans believed that the only reason they were spared was because they cared for the ill and were selfless while the sailors did not and they suffered by dying from the horrible disease. The importance of reading about the Puritans obstacles and how God helped them through everything is understanding how the American dream was derived from their experiences.
