1620s: People gathered outdoors.
United States 1620s: A dramatized reenactment shows Pilgrims and settlers gathered outdoors near a log cabin, seated on benches around tables set with food, with men in period hats and women in bonnets and shawls. Overlaid text narrates the colonists becoming self-supporting and paying off their debt to London merchants as other English colonists arrived, and describes founding documents of the New World that established principles on which all government in the United States came to stand.
