Few people realize that they were chartered in Virginia and intending to go there, more or less blundering into Cape Cod. Virginia had established the House Of Burgesses two years previously, so governance was in place and the dire difficulties of the earliest years from 1607 had been surmounted. Of course, the Second Powhatan War was to come two years later in 1622, with many outlying colonists being wiped out. So, maybe it actually was the hand of providence.
