I fail to see the connection. Arnold had problems with Roger Williams, and
moved to Newport. Williams, founder of Providence, was a 17 Century Pilgrim
seeking religious freedom. Both Newport and Providence were founded by
Pilgrims.
The poem is one man's recollection of an family oral tradition. How does
this poem reflect on Plymouth Plantation?
