Point of Divergence ... In 1620, a group of Calvinists desperate to escape religious prosecution and to be able to practice their own faith boarded The Speedwell. The ship left England carrying 120 passengers. From all accounts, the crossing of the Atlantic Ocean was harrowing, and the Pilgrims were excited to spot land after being on the seas for many months. Upon landing, the colonists set about establishing Plymouth and formed the Mayflower Compact.

What if while crossing the Atlantic Ocean, the Speedwell gets caught in a nasty storm, and during the storm the ship sinks, taking all passengers with it. How does this affect the future of America?
