That was nuts to suggest Pilgrims came all that distance to start a new civilization without knowing how to farm.
After arriving in Massachusetts Bay in November 1620 following a harrowing 66-day Atlantic crossing, the 105 Pilgrims (as they are known today) spent the first winter aboard their ship the Mayflower. It’s likely we wouldn’t be celebrating Thanksgiving today at all if not for a saintly Native American named Tisquantum, also called Squanto, a member of the Pawtuxet tribe who spoke English and taught the colonists how to plant native crops (like corn), tap the maple trees for sap, and fish in the Bay.

The Pilgrims Had No Idea How to Farm Here. Luckily, They Had the Native Americans - Modern Farmer
New England's soil isn't quite the same as England's.
