Abstract
Long before the "Odd Couple", there was a duo even more opposite and conflicted - Thomas morton and William bradford. A battle between two strong characters, with very different and contrasting beliefs about life, ensued on 1622 in the early English settlement of Plymouth, Massachusetts. The men came to the colony with hopes of new found freedom in America. bradford saw it as a land free from religious persecution and an opportunity to spread God's word to the savage Natives. On the other hand, morton saw America as wild and untamed, free from responsibility, and a place where each man was his own ruler. The opportunity in America sparkled brightly in morton's and bradford's minds, but there was one obstruction to the land of possibility that they didn't foresee - each other.
