The importance of religion and the love felt between mother and child are the themes that William Bradford address in Of Plymouth Plantation.

Explanation:

The central theme of Governor William Bradford’s Of Plymouth Plantation is Christianity—in particular, the English Separatist interpretation of Christianity that, in recent times, is usually referred to as Puritanism (although Bradford considers this term insulting.) Following the rise of a distinctly English (i.e., Anglican) church during the reign of Henry VIII, England began to move away from Catholic ritual and organization, toward a more overtly Protestant set of values, emphasizing simplicity, humility, and hard work. There were some who believed that England hadn’t gone far enough in reforming its church practices—i.e., that its religion should be even simpler and sparer. Some of these “reformers” (as Bradford calls them) splintered off and formed their own congregations, first in Northern England, then in Holland, and finally in North America. Over the course of the book, Bradford implicitly shows that the reformers’ faith was vital in bringing them together as one group, inspiring them to migrate to new places, and compelling them to make material sacrifices and work hard for the good of their colony.
