  1. King Philips War

  2. Introduction… Hi! I’m Miss Holly. Welcome to Level 5 Social Studies! Today you will learn about the conflicts between the English Puritans and the Native Americans and the causes for King Philip's War in 1675.

  3. Metacom, called King Philip by the English, was grand sachem (chief) of the Wampanoag people.

  4. Metacom was believed to have been given the nickname of King Philip by the Puritans, because of his haughty mannerisms, similar to the hated Catholic King Philip II of Spain.

  5. Bonds built between the colonists, were broken with the death of Metacom's father, Chief Massasoit.

  6. Colonialism: the Europeans brought with them the system of colonialism, primarily to generate income, which encompassed "the policy and practice of a power in extending control over weaker peoples or areas."

  7. The colonists adopted 'heavy handed' tactics with the Native Indians.

  8. Metacom (King Philip) was humiliated by the English and forced to sign a new peace agreement and surrender guns.

  9. A series of forts and an increasing number of towns were built antagonizing, or frustrating, the indigenous tribes more.

  10. The English livestock, cows and sheep, trampled over Indian cornfields.

  11. Culture Clash: Distrust and hostilities grew between the indigenous population of the region and the English as the number of newcomers increased leading to the culture clash. Both groups had very different ways of life. They did not understand or respect their differences, so they clashed.

  12. Land: The United States adopted the European practice of expansion and of recognizing only limited land rights of indigenous peoples.

  13. Trade declined between the Native Indians and the Colonists. The Indians ran out of goods to trade and only had their land to bargain with.

  14. In King Philip's War, Native Americans tried to stop the settlers of New England from taking their land.

  15. In 1675, King Philip led an attack on Swansea, Massachusetts.

  16. Over the next year, both sides raided villages and killed hundreds of victims.

  17. More than half of New England's 90 towns were assaulted by Native Indians and 12 were destroyed.

  18. King Philip's War was the most destructive conflict in American history!

  19. Over 600 colonists and 3,000 Indians were killed during King Philip's War.

  20. The region's remaining Indians would live in small, scattered communities, serving as the colonists' servants, slaves, and tenants.
