-->''Whether they know it or not, they have laid hold of great principles hitherto unrevealed to the nations of the earth. They are about to establish just and equal laws adopted and administered by the people, a government based upon the will of the governed.''

!!This film has the examples of:
* TheCavalierYears: The time period, of course.
* DrivenToSuicide: It's implied that Dorothy Bradford's extramarital affair with Captain Jones drove her to commit suicide out of guilt.
* HistoricalInJoke:
** History records that it was an accident that the ''Mayflower'' ended up in New England instead of Virginia. In the film, the Virginia Company is portrayed giving Captain Jones secret orders to take the Pilgrims to New England, as a kind of backdoor to setting up a colony there.
** Dorothy Bradford really did die after falling overboard, but this was probably an accident. In the film, it's implied to be suicide, the result of a fictional affair she had been sorta having with Captain Jones. This scenario was not invented by the film itself, by the way, but by a ''Harper's Weekly'' story from 1869.
* ImAManICantHelpIt: The sailors constantly harass the Pilgrim women, which Captain Jones dismisses by noting that they don't usually have women aboard.
* LoveTriangle: Captain Jones falls in love with Dorothy Bradford, who is married to William Bradford.
* StayInTheKitchen: Captain Jones doesn't think much of the Pilgrims bringing so many women and children along.
* TrainingThePeacefulVillagers: When Miles Standish attempts to teach the Pilgrims how to use firearms in case they encounter hostile natives in the new land.
