too. it's an encore holiday edition for our weekly series, "making sense," which airs thursdays on the newshour. >>meeporter: thanksgiving ti 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. >> reporter: we've 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 tote separarom the church of england. patiennce was among those who came to plymouth, as played by one of the plantations re- enactors.

>> we live a humble life, but we work for ourselves. t holland, we could put food on our tables, but,s a veryha rd labor. >> reporter: meanwhile, america was literally, to them, a new wod. >> we will be able to turn a good profit so that it benefits everyone. >> reporter: the plantati's vernor and chronicler, william bradford. >> it mit be a place where profit and religion can jump together. there iso shame in doing well, for one must still exist in this world and thuse comfortable. >> reporter: stephen hopkins was a merchant colonist. will you become rich, do you think? >> well, imagine all men entertain the idea of it, but - well, that really shall be not up to me. it is hoped that we'll at let prosper. >> reporter: most of the pilgrims had been faers in england, but made their living in the cloth trade in holland. when the wool market crashed, these folks were desperate to emigrate.

>> they were living in deep privation and it was a way of escaping 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 ildren and grow the number of church members. >> reporter: in other words, the pilgrims were very much economic immigrants, like so many who've come to america since. but if so poor, how they afford an ocean paisage, with prns, to america? the answer is 70-some-odd investors, known as "merchant adventurers." through the mac of video teleportation, pickering took us to visit one, supposedly at his home outside londo >> do come in sir, let me show you here, we've some fine peltry, furs just back from new

england. >> reporter: full disclosure: we were still in reconstructed plymouth, but houses there looked just like those in suburban england. what's the main way in which youre hoping to make a profithe ? >> well, close at hand, sir. here, looky well, fine beaver pelt, just brung back. and, our report is that they expect more and more of such things. >> reporter: why furs? do people wear fur coats here in london? >> oh no, sir. it's the hats, the beaver hats. all good peoe now wear beaver hats. you may remember that famous indian princess that come from virginia, that some would call pocahontas; thou in england, generally, she was called rebecca. 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, whichov ed wood like pine for an increasingly clear-cut england. >> in englan there's hardly a pine till you get up to scotland! >> reporter: but to get the goods, you had to get to americ

and survive. so, investors in london bankrolled the venture, bysi purc shares in a stock company, as with similar ventures i virginia, bermuda and elsewhere. ten pounds for a single share,ro hly six months' worth of an ordinary worker's wages: $15,000 to $20,000 today, ybe. one merchant may have invested as mh as several hundred erousand in current dollars. each colonist ovge 16 got one share justor emigrating, working the territory, and making a profit for the investors. >> initially, it was agreed th for seven years' time, we would ship raw matials back to them to be sold. >> reporter: merchant colonist stephen hopkins. >> they would send trade 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 given by the king to the investors, and all future profits would be theirs. so, this is a capitalist enterprise from the get-go? >> it was capitalism from the very beginning. the intent was to prosper hereha in any waythey could, whether it was the fur trade, tmber trade or fishing. >> reporter: but early efforts to pay off their investors failed. the first winter was brutal; nely half of the colonists died. >> first ship it was that we sent back empty for reasons of barely being able to survive. and sadly, the second ship i sent back, laden with goods, was taken by french pirates right before it reached england. >> reporter: and turkish pirates took another; then as now, hawks stalked their chickens; competg colonists set up shop along the new england coast and inland, closer to e suppliers.

that meant that when trading with the natives, the price of beaver kept getting bid up. setbacks galore. but not surprisingly, the investors back he were getting impatient. >> some of them imagine they might cast seeds othe ground and press the cider the same year, but it is not so in business. >> reporter: what was so in business: distrust, partly because of investors who bilked the inexperienced colonists, and demanded quick profits. >> many a time it is that we are eated little better than a slave or a servant. but whilst my share is equal to some have 100 more of those equal shares. thus, the minority has the majority of the shareholding. >> reporter: despite thear ownership diy, however, colonists who survived tended th prosper, eveindentured servants, who got no shares and had to work seven years forr theedom. edward doty served stephen hopkins.nk do you tou could ever be a rich man in america? do you have what you might call

an american dream? >> rich in land, rich in woods, which you make quite a lot of money with. but no matr what, if you get land here, people will respect you and if those will become 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, pele of our sort would usually only rent it. >> reporter: we had one lastes on 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 contibuted to the creation of an immigrant country. >> reporter: this ismics correspondent paul solman, reporting for the pbs newshour,

from the 17th centur sort of. >> yang: on our bookshelf tonight, the dramatic struggles to turn an aient faith into an erican religion. judy woodruff spoke with long time journalist steven weisman, rse author of "the chosen about why he decided to examine the evolution of judiasm in the united states. >> i really thought that the story of the rsof american judaism could be told like aplite great sill story. are issue but i also wanted to show the reader that the history of daism is the history of conflict and the conflicts today are radioed in the past if w look to the past

we can resolve them. >> ten e toilets. row mind people when jews came to ts country andhy they came? >> they first came as a group 17th century were he escaping persecution from brazil, the community was taken over, they come up through new york and there was a jewish community, where the revolutionary waret the unflukes same is the 180 ho are hoer. >> the book is about conflicts between juice itch faith, th jewish community, you talk about the change that was made and

mix. >> that's right. what really interested me was that for to thousand years pretty much,ws and prayed in toessiah who deliver them back the -- by the 1840 os jews stapped pray for this may gentleman to because they felt that in american they -- iwas in this period that they changed the identity of judaism the jews began to see themselves as e messiah. people who would bring mu manatee. >> ultimately you're canning about, that is the essence of their survival, their

determination to survive as a significant piece of american ture. american cul >> jews in america are different from jewsn other that's right r parts of the world because they see themselves as amican first. judaism has already has a national identity. jews invented nationalism. eut in america they bec americans. however, they wanted to make judaism into more of a religion rather than national identity. they adopted practices. they had me wn andomen sitting together.rg because inn 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 24 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 in albany was fired, went to the syndagogue a got into a

fist fight with the president of his congregation and police had to coming in. >> end of th book you write, to eradicate, juice willing nd ways to reinforce the tied i identity and refue to disappea disappear. where does some subject or then come from. and the shoot engine pittsburgh? >> think the sooting does reinforce the point. that you saw in the space of hoar rife i can attack after a year in which anti-smot particular discourse that we haven't seen in american histo history.

jews raied 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 enuring message. >> chosen wars: how juicism: thank 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 "christmas with p.j. morton" is
