    The people back then spoke very differently. In third grade when we went to Plymouth Plantation, I had noticed that instead of pronouncing "speak" that had the "ea" sound, they said "speak" but pronounced it like "spek". I find it interesting though to read the old speak and decipher the diaries and recipes like the stewed pumpkin.

    I don't think that John Glover needed 30 acres of land even if he did have a lot of cows. Also, is wampum a type of money? I don't think that anyone should have a slave, but especially ministers, for example Peter Thacher, Milton's minister.

    In the section i just read it said that Peter Thacher was well know ,and i didn't know much about him so i looked him up and it turns out that he participated in the drafting of the Massachusetts Constitution.
