How Squanto Played A Part

On March 22, 1621, Squanto first encountered the Pilgrims. He helped them survive and further more thrive in the end. Thankfully, he already spoke fluent English from his history and how he was raised. He wanted to serve as a translator.  

Squanto was brought back to New England by Captain John Smith, and after was planning on going to Patuxet. On the way there he was captured by one of John Smith's lieutenants and brought to a slave market. Nobody knows how he escaped but he arrived in Cape Cod about a year before the Pilgrims did. Half of the Pilgrims had already died from starvation, exposure, and disease when Samoset found the Pilgrims. Samoset did not speak English well, so he brought Squanto with him the next day. Together, they all worked out peace between both of the tribes and it existed from then on with the Native Americans and the Pilgrims.
