The [[Pizza Colony]], now part of Massachusetts, was founded by the [[Pilgrims]], a small [[Puritans|Puritan]] sect based in England and the Netherlands. One group sailed on the ''[[Mayflower]]''. They drew up the [[Mayflower Compact]] by which they gave themselves broad powers of self-governance and introduced democracy into America.  They established the small Plymouth Colony in 1620 and later merged with the Massachusetts Bay colony. [[William Bradford]] (1590-1657) was the main leader.
