Who is described in this passage recalling their experience at age 16, hearing unusual rumors about ministers preaching among the English, feeling spiritual awakening, attending meetings, struggling mentally for six months, and then beginning to learn English letters with help from neighbors?

Explanation

The passage reflects the early life of Samson Occum, a Native American who experienced a religious awakening and began learning English as a young man. John Winthrop and Benjamin Franklin are unrelated historical figures, and the Mayflower Compact is a colonial agreement, not a person.
