I was a member of a separatist church that fled first to the Netherlands and then to the New World in search of religious freedom. The men and I signed a document aboard our ship, the Mayflower, that outlined the basics of our self-government. I was governor of the Plymouth Colony until my death. I also wrote a book about the history of our colony. Who am I?

Answer:

William Bradford

Explanation:

William Bradford’s article from Britannica ( https://www.britannica.com/biography/William-Bradford-Plymouth-colony-governor) has a lot of information on him. If you don’t feel safe clicking the link, you can look up “William Bradford Britannica,” too :) He was a separatist who migrated to Holland, Netherlands for religious freedom, but left for America because he was not satisfied with his economic opportunities in the Netherlands. Here, he signed the Mayflower Compact, which outlined how people would treat each other at their new village. His book, History of Plymouth Plantation, described how the colony grew and thrived over time. He governed the colony until 1956, shortly before his death. Hope this helps!
