This is America, Charlie Brown is an eight-part educational animated cartoon series featuring characters from the Peanuts comic strip by Charles M. Schulz . The series originally aired on CBS from October 21, 1988 to May 23, 1989.

The series featured the Peanuts characters learning about events and people from American history. Due to the necessity of depicting important historical characters, This is America, Charlie Brown is one of the few Peanuts animated cartoons, along with the movie Bon Voyage, Charlie Brown (And Don't Come Back!!) and the TV specials What Have We Learned, Charlie Brown? , It's the Girl in the Red Truck, Charlie Brown , Snoopy's Reunion and It's the Pied Piper, Charlie Brown , to depict adults ' faces; something that never happened in the Peanuts comic strip.

Most episodes of the series have not been rerun on television in the United States. However, since 2008, the first episode, The Mayflower Voyagers , has been aired immediately following A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving .

HELPFUL BACKGROUND

To enhance the educational value of this film, parents need only watch the film with their children and comment on two or three of the points. Some additional background is set out below.

In England, at the time of the voyage of the Mayflower, the King was the head of the Church of England. It was considered treason to dissent from the views of the established church. To avoid the repressive policies of the English government, the Puritans first emigrated to Holland. While they were not persecuted in Holland, they could not prosper. In addition, the Puritans never intended to lose their English heritage. When they saw their children adopting Dutch ways and when they realized that they would never be able to advance economically in Holland, the Puritans decided to leave and try life in a different location.

DISCUSSION QUESTIONS

Why is religious freedom important?

Respect for another person as a human being is the basis for religious freedom.

Snug harbor: Mayflower II to pass through Cape Cod Canal as it returns to Plymouth

In about a week's time, the Mayflower will once again journey the sea — the Mayflower II , that is. And it will take a much shorter voyage, with a shortcut through the Cape Cod Canal , than its namesake undertook more than 400 years ago.

Following a winter spent in dry dock at the Henry B. duPont Preservation Shipyard at Mystic Seaport in Mystic, Connecticut, the historic reproduction vessel will return to her home berth alongside State Pier at Pilgrim Memorial State Park in Plymouth.

The vessel was undergoing routine maintenance.

Depending on the weather and tide, Mayflower II is scheduled to depart from the Mystic Seaport on or about April 9, 10 or 11, according to Plimoth Patuxet Museums .

Instead of navigating the shoals and rough waters around Cape Cod that forced the original travelers to abandon their southern course and turn north, the Mayflower II will take the easier route through the canal.

Early morning passage through Cape Cod Canal

The passage is presently expected to take place during the early morning hours on the day after the ship leaves Mystic, said Plimoth Patuxet Director of Marketing & Communications Rob Kluin on Monday. Although it may traverse the canal while it is still dark, with the lighting that exists along the waterway early risers will still be able to see the ship as it passes through.

"As it gets a little closer to the three days (departure window), you can start tracking the ship to pick up more information," Kluin said.

To track the Mayflower II, go to www.tinyurl.com/trackMayflower2 . Updates will also be posted on the  Plimoth Patuxet Facebook page .

"It's always exciting" to see the vessel in transit, he said.

Will the Mayflower II need wind?

The 102-foot wooden vessel will not be traveling by wind power, but will instead be towed the entire way by Stasinos Marine out of Weymouth, Kluin said. It will be crewed by the Plimoth Patuxet maritime preservation and operations team led by Capt. Whit Perry. They will not be in period costumes for the voyage.

Once it leaves Mystic, the Mayflower II will travel non-stop until it reaches Plymouth Harbor. The journey, approximately 78 miles, will take about 20 to 25 hours — better than the nearly two months it took the original Mayflower to cross the Atlantic in 1620 . That vessel brought the first European immigrants to the shores of Patuxet, to eventually establish Plimoth Plantation.

The 67-year-old wooden tall ship, said Kluin, is a full-scale reproduction of the original Mayflower that made the original transatlantic crossing in 1620. The reproduction vessel left from Plymouth on Nov. 30 and arrived in Mystic Seaport on Dec. 1.

"The ship is on a routine maintenance schedule. Every couple of years it goes away (to dry dock) just to make sure that we're keeping the ship in shipshape," Kluin said.

The last time Mayflower II was in dry dock was in 2022. Routine maintenance includes cleaning and painting the bottom, giving other areas of the ship fresh paint, and caulking the seams — "all the things you need to do to maintain a wooden ship," he said.

Mayflower II is slated to be open to the public at her Plymouth berth starting at 9 a.m. on April 13. The travel schedule from Mystic to Plymouth is subject to change, depending on tide, weather and other factors.

The Mayflower II to dock in Plymouth this month. Here's what you need to know

A piece of colonial history is set to begin its voyage home.

The Mayflower II will return to Plymouth following months of restoration work in Mystic, Connecticut.

The replica of the ship that carried the Pilgrims across the Atlantic over 400 years ago is scheduled to leave Mystic Seaport on either April 9, 10 or 11, said a press release issued by Plimoth Patuxet Museums.

"Once the ship gets underway from Mystic Seaport Museum, the transit will be nonstop and will take approximately 20 to 25 hours to complete," it said.

The vessel is expected to pass through the well-lit Cape Cod Canal during early morning hours on the day after its departure, according to the press release. Spectators should be able to see the ship as it passes.

The Mayflower II's travel schedule could change due to weather conditions and the tide.

Where is the Mayflower II now?

The Mayflower II is currently in Mystic and has been since early December.

"The 67-year-old wooden vessel spent the winter months in dry dock at the Henry B. duPont Preservation Shipyard at Mystic Seaport for routine maintenance and painting," according to the press release.

You can visit the vessel's Marine Traffic page , which tracks the Mayflower II's voyages as they occur, to follow the ship's route as it sets sail back to Plymouth from Mystic.

The press release said people can also check for updates on the ship's journey and location on the Plimoth Patuxet Facebook page .

Can you visit the Mayflower II?

When the ship is docked in Plymouth and available for admission, the Mayflower II can be seen and visited by the public at the Plymouth Harbor.

The prices of admission to the vessel are $19 for adults, $13 for children and $17.10 for seniors, according to Plimoth Patuxet's website .

The Mayflower II is not available to visit until it returns to harbor and Plimoth Patuxet opens it to the public. 

"Plimoth Patuxet expects to open Mayflower II to the public on Saturday, April 13th at 9:00 a.m.," the press release said.

How accurate is the Mayflower II?

The Mayflower II is a historical reproduction of the original Mayflower that sailed in 1620.

The Mayflower II's page on the Plimoth Patuxet website says that the differences between the two ships include a large staircase between the main deck and the lower decks, electric lights illuminating the dark corners of the lower deck and other safety and comfort modifications.

The ship was named to the National Register of Historic Places for its historical importance, citing its connection to the origins of the United States as a nation and its status as a full-scale vessel with the particular features of a 17th-century English merchant vessel on Oct. 22, 2020.
