Yeah, absolutely. And I think it's interesting to think about what we understand their vision for the colony was and possibly how it developed. Because there's quite significant shifts between the first generation who land there and establish the colony. And then what's happened as you get to the next generations is, and the feeling that they need to spread that next generation.

And so the core ideals of the colony and the religious practice that were held by the original leading pilgrims effectively break down over time as those other generations follow.

Yeah, absolutely. And I think it's really important to think how the story is being used and why it's being used. And so you can look at that depending on who is telling the story and which bits of the story they choose to tell. One of the things that for many years, particularly in Britain,

the pilgrims have been known as the pilgrim fathers, which I've challenged by pointing out the fact that actually there were some women on that boat. You know, it seems like a basic thing. And the idea of pilgrim fathers creates as well, I think, an image in your head of elders, perhaps wise older men.

And so beyond the idea of there being women there contributing to ultimately the success of the colony, It's also, I think, important to remember that when they were fleeing England and Leiden, to some extent, they were young. So they weren't these elders, which are often represented, particularly from the American side, because they were older when they were in America.

But when they were here and when they were making decisions to leave England and Holland, they were young, they were radical. It's a lot easier to risk things, I think, for younger people sometimes. And that has got to be part of this story. William Bradford was 18 when he fled England. He was 30 when they left Holland. And he was the leader of the colony within a year.

And so he shaped that story. They were having children. They were young children. You know, that's a significant thing to think about in terms of why were they doing what they were doing and how did they manage to achieve it?
