*** Why the Pilgrims Abandoned Common Ownership for Private Property | Lawrence W. Reed
*** In the diary of Plymouth Colony’s first governor, William Bradford, we can read about the settlers’ initial arrangement: Land was held in common. Crops were brought to a common storehouse and distributed equally. For two years, every person had to work for everybody else (the community), not for themselves as individuals or families.
