Did you know that the generation that declared independence from Great Britain were closer to the Mayflower generation than we are to the Independence generation? 150 years after the landing of the Mayflower with 102 passengers on the tip of Cape Cod, their descendants were leading 13 Colonies in a spirited and armed defense of the rights and liberties of mankind. Now, 250 years later we talk with Mark Schmidt, Executive Director of the General Society of Mayflower Descendants, on the lasting impact of that first generation of Colonists, how their descendants saw themselves connected to the empire and how tens of thousands of modern Americans help preserve, promote and commemorate the lives and legacies of their ancestors, passengers of the Mayflower.
