The Mayflower left England in 1620 bound for North America with a passenger list that has been categorized as made up of "Saints" and "Strangers." Some were completing this crossing in an effort to separate themselves from what was, in their minds, was a corrupt Church of England, while others made the journey for reasons that weren't explicitly religious. However, one passenger had already made this crossing one decade earlier; this individual previously made his way to Jamestown by way of an unexpected detour of the Caribbean, all the while acquiring skills that would make him an indispensable member of the legendary Plymouth Colony. Episode 1.4 of History: Beyond the Textbook focuses on the adventures of Stephen Hopkins the Peacemaker of Plymouth.
