November 1620.
Aboard a freezing ship anchored off Cape Cod, Massachusetts...
A mutual cooperation agreement is signed by a group of men representing 101 passengers who had survived a perilous north Atlantic crossing, hoping to found a colony in the "New World".
This agreement would be important, because some of these passengers were members of a religious sect calling themselves "Saints".

These "Saints" - later known to history as "The Pilgrims" - called the people who outnumbered them "Strangers".
Take a deep dive into America's forgotten history with this special length post-pandemic episode.
