Isaac Allerton is one of the original colonists in Plymouth. He’s later appointed to travel to England to negotiate the Pilgrims’ considerable debts and obtain new land patents. However, Allerton begins to use his influential position for his own advantage, endangering the survival of the colony: for example, he brings his own goods back to Plymouth and sells them at unfair prices to the desperate colonists. Allerton is eventually ousted from the colony, though he later becomes a successful businessman in Connecticut.
