When the Mayflower went back to England in the spring, they brought back nothing of any wealth for the investors. As an investor, you lost everything.
In fact, the Plymouth Colony was a failure.
So in one post, you claim the venture was a financial failure, while in a later post you claim it was a success.
I suppose you have managed to avoid obscenity, so I won't put you on ignore, but I would recommend consistence in your posting.
With the people themselves that got on the Mayflower and were the first settlers, they were the people that lost everything. They sold everything in England and paid people to take them to the Netherlands at first, and back to England on their voyage to America. They collectively purchase a ship called the Speedwell.

The Speedwell was designed to stay in America as a source of protection and finding trade with the natives. In case of an emergency, the population can abandon the colony for a safe harbor.
The people that made money, was the people that had no wish to live in America. The people that sold the Speedwell and the people that purchased the Speedwell from people that have no wish to return to Europe.
The more I study it and look at it, I feel sorry for these people that came to America.
