John Pory believed that the colonies were already almost perfect and nothing could go wrong. In his eyes he saw perfection except three things according to him, “three things there be, which in a few years may bring this colony to perfection; the English plow, vineyards, and cattle.” He also said a regular colonist worker could raise themselves to the value of 200 pound sterling which is $270.45 USD which at the time, was very rich. Pory mentioned how that seemed very rare or impossible, but such people could do it. Overall, John Pory believed that the colony was in good shape, the economy was striving, and the colonists were doing just fine. In the excerpt from the Mayflower Compact, the pilgrim leaders wanted to become almost one and form a set of rules, laws, and constitutions that would benefit the colonies. I know this because at the end it stated, “and by virtue hereof, to enact, constitute, and frame such just and equal laws, ordinances, acts, constitutions, and offices . . . “ I knew they wanted to come together as one big civil body because it stated, “covenant and combine ourselves together into a civil body politic for our better ordering and preservation and furtherance of the ends aforesaid.” This evidence showed to me that they didn't want the rules to be unfair, and unequal however, they wanted to do the opposite of that and make sure everybody had equal rights and treatment.

Garangula, a chief of one of the Iroquois tribes, believed nobody should be limited to travel, or marketplace relations. However, anyone should be allowed to do what they please and feel like. Since he wanted to emphasize the fact that none of his people were subject to French or English colonial rule, he said this to his people, “We are born free. We neither depend upon [the governor of New France] nor [the governor of New York]. We may go where we please . . . and buy and sell what we please.” This showed to me he was a strong, responsible and fearsome leader since he wanted everyone to know they can do what they want if they choose.

CAN SOMEONE PLEASE REPHRASE THIS WHOLE PIECE. PLEASE!
