400 Years Ago Today: Pilgrims Sign The Mayflower Compact

Throughout the month of December, VDARE.com will feature a series of
letters from our readers, honoring our Pilgrim forebears and the
powerful legacy that their survival story still inspires in patriotic
Americans today.

VDARE.com's Matthew Richer wrote earlier this year that, "[T]he
Pilgrims did not immigrate to the New World, they
settled
it.
And those whose ancestors immigrated to America afterwards are indebted
to them because they paved the way for the rest of us ...

However, many Americans who do not descend from the Pilgrims (like
myself) still consider them our forefathers-and that is an example of
a phenomenon once favorably known as '

****assimilation****.'

"...Those who love this country will want to celebrate this
anniversary. Those who loathe it will obnoxiously denigrate it.
"

- Matthew Richer, We Are All Puritans Now! 2020 Election Will Be
Debate On Mayflower Anniversary/America's Founding. Trump Will Win

Now, we want to hear from you:

**Are you a Mayflower descendant?**

The Pilgrims were prolific. Among their 35 million descendants are a
dozen Presidents including both Adamses, both Roosevelts and both
Bushes, along with many other notables as diverse as Humphrey Bogart,
Marilyn Monroe, Amelia Earhart, Astronaut Alan Shepherd, Warren Buffett
and Winston Churchill, Prime Minister of England.

**Or are you, like Richer, an "assimilated" part of the Historic
American Nation for whom the Mayflower story nevertheless has personal
meaning and significance?**

****The Mayflower Compact and subsequent government were the first
exercise in self-government in the English speaking world, not to
mention the New World, and it inspired the framers of the Constitution.

In either case, please help us remember and celebrate the historic
American nation by letting us know:

**W**

**hat**

**does** the Mayflower mean to you, to your family and to our nation?
