america, but real economic pressures were a key factor, too. er's an encore holiday edition for our weekly sies, "making sense," which airs thursdays on the newshour. t >> reporter:nksgiving time at plimoth plantation, a 17th century living history museum in massachusetts. the year? 1624, when, as the story goes: >> 100 people landed on a bare and windy shore, seeking freedom from the english church. for this, they were ready to confront the grim and grisly face of poverty. >> in the beginning, god created the heaven and the earth. w >> reporteve long celebrated the religious drive to build a city on a hill for strangers in a strange land. but it turns out that our pilgrims faced poverty at least as grim and grisly back in holland, from whence they had fled 16 years earlier to separate from the church of england. patience prence was among those who came to plymouthlayed by one of the plantations re-

enactors. live a humble life, but we work for ourselves. in holland, we could put food on our tables, but, it was a very hard labor. >> reporter: meanwhileica was literally, to them, a new world. >> we will be able to turn a good profit so that it benefits everyone. >> reporterthe plantation's governor and chronicler, william bradford. >> it might be a place where profit and religion can jump together. there is no shame in doing well, for one st still exist in this world and thus be comfortable. >> reporter: stephen hopkins was a merchant colonist. will you become rich, do you think? >> well, imagine all men en-rtain the idea of it, bu well, that really shall be not up to me. it is hoped that we'll at least prosper. >> reporter: most of the pilgms had been farmers in england, but made their living in the cloth trade in holland. when the wool market crashed, these folks were desperate to

igrate. >> they were living in deep privation and it was a way ofes ping poverty. >> reporter: plymouth historian richard pickering. so was the main motivation really, what we would now call economic? >> there is a religious motivation in the desire to protect the church. but those that were living in holland were safe, so that they could have remained and worshiped as they wanted, but it is an economic motivation to better the lives of their children and grow the number of church members. >> reporter: in other words, thi rims were very much economic immigrants, like so many who've come to america since. but if so poor, how could they rd an ocean passage, wit provisions, to america? e answer is 70-some-odd investors, known as "merchant adventurers." through the magic of video teleportation, pickering took us to visit one, supposedly at his home outside london. sh>> do come in sir, let m you here, we've some fine

peltry, furs just back from new england. >> reporter: full dire: we were still in reconstructed ymouth, but houses there looked just like those in suburban england. what'she main way in which youre hoping to make a profit here? >> well, close at hand, sir. here, looky well, fine beaver pelt, just brung bk. and, our report is that they expect more and more of such things. >> reporter: whyurs? do people wear fur coats here in london? >> oh no, sir. it's the hats the beaver hats. all good people now wear beaver hats. you may remember that famous indian princess that come from virginia, that some would call pocahontas; though in england, generally, she was called rebecc and, she had her portrait, i'm told, in a fine beaver. >> reporter: the tradable goods of america were the three f's: fur, fish and forests, which provided wood like pine for an increasingly clear-cut england. >> in england, there'sy a pine till you get up to scotland! >> reporter: but to get the goods, you had to get

america. and survive. so, investors in london bankrolled the venture, by imrchasing shares in a stock company, as with silar ventures in virginia, bermuda and elsewhere. ten pounds for a sinare, roughly six months' worth of an ordinary worker's wages: $15,000 to $,000 today, maybe. one merchant may have investeder as much as sev hundred thousand in cueaent dollars. colonist over age 16 got atone share just for emigrg, working the territor and making a profit for the investors. >> initially, itas agreed that for seven years' time, we would tship raw materials back m to be sold. >> reporter: merchant colonist stephen hopkins. >> they would send tde goods onto us annually and with a promise, or hope, that there would be a dividend at the end of the seventh year. the dividend, the profit that comes in silver and gold shall

go to the founders, the financers. >> reporter: once those "financers" were paid back, the colonists would get the deed to the land, initially giveby the king to the investors, and all future profits would be theirs. so, this is a pitalist enterprise from the get-go? >> it was capitalism from the very beginning. the intent was to prosper here any way that they could, whether it was the fur trade, timber trade rr fishing. >>orter: but the early efforts to pay off their investors failed. the first winter was brutal; nearly half of the colonists r first ship it was that we sent back empty asons of barely being able to survive. and sadl the second ship i sent back, laden with goods, was taken by french pirates righthe before it reengland. >> reporter: and turkish pirates took another; then as now, hawks stalked their chickens; competing colonists set up shop along the new engld coast and inland, closer to the suppliers.

e at meant that when trading with the natives, ice of beaver kept getting bid up. setbacksalore. but not surprisingly, the tivestors back home were g impatient. >> some of them imagine they mit cast seeds on the grou and press the cider the same year, but it is noso in business. >> reporter: what was so in business: distrust, partly because of investors who bilked the inexperienced colonists, anq demandck profits. >> many a time it is that we are treated little better than a slave or a servant. , t whilst my share is equal to someone in engla might have 100 more of those equal shares. thus, the minority has the majority of the shareholding. >> reporter: despite the ownership disparity, however, colonists who survived tended tr per, even the indentured servants, who got no shares and had to work seven years for their freedom. edward doty served stephen hopkins. do you think you could ever be a

rich man in america? do you have what you might calea an american >> rich in ld, rich in woods, which you make quite a lot of money with. but no matter what, get land here, people will respect you and if tse will become a time like i expect it to be and a true settlement, there is a profit to be had. >> reporter: and that was very different from the old country. >> so in england, owning land is for gentry and noblemen. but, people of our sort would usually only rent it. >> reporter: we had one last question for the plantation's historian. what's the relevance if any, of economics being the main driver of the plymouth plantation? >> so often, we think of the pilgrims symbolically. we don't look at their everyday business lives and realize that their success enabled later settlement and contributed to the creaon of an immigrant country. >> reporter: this is economics correspondent paul solman,

reporting for the pbs newshour, from the 17th century... sort of. >> yang: on our bookshelf tonight, the dramatic struggles ntto turn an ancient faithan american religion. judy woodruff spoke with long time journalist steven weisman, the author of "the chosen wars," about why he decided to examine the evolution of judiasm in the united states. >> i really thought that the story of the rise of american judaism could be told lik aplite great sill story. a reel issue but i also wanted to show the reader tat the eistory of judaism is th history of conflict and the thnflicts today are radioed in

past if we look to the past we can resve them. >> ten the toilets. row mind people when jews came to this count and why they came? >> they first came as a group 17th century were he escaping persecution from brazil, the tmmunity was taken over, they come uphrough new york andwa ther a jewish community, where the revolutionary war bet the flukes same is the 180 ho are hoer. >> the book is about conflicts between juice itch faith, the jewish community, you talk abt the change that was made and

x. >> that's right. what really interested me was that for two thousand years pretty much, jews and prayed in mmessiah who deliver them back t the -- by the 1840 os jews stapped pray for this may gentleman to because they felt that in american they -- it was in this period that they chnged the identity of judajeism the ws began to see themselves as the messiah. people who would bring mu manatee. >> ultimately you're canning about, that is the essence of

their survival, their determination to survie as a significant piece of amelirican , american culture. >> jews in erica arefferent from jews in other that's right r parts of bee worlcause they see themselves as american first. judaism has already has a national identity. jewsn inted nationalism. but in america they became americans. however, th wanted to make judaism into more of a religion rather than national identity. they adopted practices. they had men and women sitting together. because in organ music.

instituted. what every rises in union is in. these were practices that they wanted to make into a mainstre mainstream. >> there are so many interesti interesting, fascinating people, you writes about who were leaders in the jewish faith. do you of a a father. >> i think isaac is brilliant visionary who pled the way. the vision. american jude." he declared that he no longer cleaved there was a messiah he the conservative juice almost ex communicated him. then i aany was fired, went to the synagogue and got into a

fist fight with the president of his congregation and police had to coming in. >> end of the book you write, to eradicate, juice willing find ways to rnforce the tied i identity and refuse to disappe disappear. where does somcte subr then come from. anthe sho engine pittsburgh? >> think the shooting does reinforce the point. that you saw in the space of hoar rife i can attack after a year in which anti-smote particular discourse that we haven't seen in american histo

history. jews rallied they came together. what is the source of this? that required and conviction bus lot of belief that judaism stands for something more than self love and self worship and brings of justice of humanity tooling of human tee and jews are determined to stand by that. >> it's an enduring mesge. >> chosen wars: how juicism: th k you so much. >> thank you very much, judy. >> yang: p.j. morton is the keyboardist for the band maroon five. he released the solo album "gumbo" last year and his album
