Answer 1

King Philip’s War, also called Great Narragansett War, (1675–76), in British American colonial history, war that pitted Native Americans against English settlers and their Indian allies that was one of the bloodiest conflicts (per capita) in U.S. history. Historians since the early 18th century, relying on accounts from the Massachusetts Bay and Plymouth colonies, have referred to the conflict as King Philip’s War. Philip (Metacom), sachem (chief) of a Wampanoagband, was a son of Massasoit, who had greeted the first colonists of New England at Plymouth in 1621. However, because of the central role in the conflict played by the Narragansetts, who composed the largest Native American group then in southern New England, some historians refer to the conflict as the Great Narragansett War.

The war’s proximate cause was Plymouth Colony’s execution in June 1675 of three of Philip’s warriors. They had been tried and found guilty of murdering John Sassamon, a Harvard-educated “praying Indian” convert to Puritanism who had served as an interpreter and advisor to Philip but whom Philip had accused of spying for the colonists. His murder ignited a tinderbox of tensions between Indians and whites that had been smoldering for 55 years over competing land claims (including disputes over the grazing of colonial livestock on hunting and fishing grounds), interracial insensitivities, and English cultural encroachment on Native America. That was the case even with a somewhat intertwined Native American–English economy and the conversion to Christianity by some Indians.

Answer 2

Answer:

Result of the Pequot War and King Philip’s War:

Many Indians and colonists died.

Explanation:

• King Philip's War (also known as the First Indian War, the Great Narragansett War, or the Metacom Rebellion) took place in southern New England in 1675-1676.
• This was a last-ditch effort to dissuade his native Americans from recognizing British authority and to discourage the settlement of their homeland by the British.
• King Philip's War was not a localized conflict like the Pequot War of the 1630s, but a full-scale war involving much of New England and many Native Americans, with no distinction between warriors and civilians Man.
• And it is uncertain whether the decline of the Philippine War, which took such a toll on settlers in southern New England, ended Native American rule in the region and ushered in an era of uncontrolled colonial expansion.
• The Pequot Wars culminated in the Treaty of Hartford in 1638, which outlawed the Pequot language and name, confiscated tribal lands, disbanded the surviving Pequots, and gave them away as spoils of war either killed or sold into slavery.
