Plymouth+Rock

Before the 1600's, Plymouth Rock was home to many Native American tribes. However, after the year 1620, the inhabitants of Plymouth and Plymouth Rock itself was changed for ever when colonists came there, searching for a refuge where they could practice any religion they wanted. This journey was paid for in full by the Virgina Company, a joint stock company. This colony later became part of the Massachusetts Bay Colony. This colonization is a form of cultural diffusion.
