  abstract: My research centers around the conflict which occurred in 1627 between Thomas Morton's settlement at Mount Wollaston (Merry Mount) and William Bradford's Pilgrims at Plymouth Plantation. An analysis of Morton's New English Canaan and Bradford's History Of Plymouth Plantation illuminates the details of the conflict from two very different points of view. Bradford attacks Morton's moral behavior and gun trade with the Indians, while Morton berates the Pilgrims in a very satirical manner. Throughout the centuries, many historical and literary works have emerged in which this conflict is dealt with. Evaluation of the points of view, themes, styles, and most importantly, the rhetorical tactics used by the authors of these accounts has led me to insights concerning the evolution of American thought and today's American Way. It becomes clear, in conclusion, that the conflict between Morton and Bradford illustrates two philosophies of life, one individualistic, the other spiritual and community oriented, which have merged over the centuries to form the core of our attitudes today.
