The war of King Phillip (1675-1676) showed the last big effort to expel British settlers by Americans in southern New England. Along with the collapse of the trade partnership and the aggressive expansion of colonial territories, Pokunoket Chief Metacom - aka King Philip - led the bloody riot of the tribe of Wampanoag, Nipmuck, Pocumtuck, Narragansett. The battle continued for 14 months, destroying the 12 border towns and finishing shortly after Metacom was arrested and beheaded. Some of his supporters fled to Canada, but others surrendered were sold as slaves.

The war of King Philippe from 1675 to 1667 (aka Metacom's revolt) celebrated the last time Indians in southern New England tried to expel the British settlers. Headed by Metacom, Pokunoket's Chief Executive Officer called the UK "The Phil of Philip", and today a band known as Wampanoag Indians joined Nipmucks, Pocumtucks and Narragantets with a bloody riot. It lasted 14 months and destroyed the 12 border towns

The series of events that led to the outbreak of war is not yet clear, but Indian wrath against British has been established since the 1660s. They are increasingly dependent on British commodities, food and weapons, with the depletion of fur trade, the sale of tribal lands, and colonialists to force Metacom and other leaders to recognize the sovereignty of the UK, and Their bargaining power has decreased. Some Indians pick up their weapons instead of further adaptation. Other countries, including Mohegan, Pequot, Massachusetts, and Nauset Indians, support Britain.

Immediately after Metacom was arrested and hung, the war ended in August 1676. Some of his supporters fled to Canada; surrender people were shipped as slaves to the West Indies. Puritan interprets their victory as a sign of God's grace and as a symbolic purification of their spiritual community. Indians are still facing demands of slavery, illness, cultural turmoil and land

The Indian problem in 1670 eventually led to the war of King Philippe. Due to the lack of trade and commercial agriculture and the war of King Philippe, Plymouth became the poorest in the New England colony. Plymouth's colony was chartered from a private adventurer and New England Dominion, but it never took the formal charter of the British royal family. It was a turbulence to Plymouth in the late 1680s, as it was on the verge of bankruptcy. The colloquial story finally ended in 1691 when it was incorporated into the colonies of the Massachusetts Bay by an official charter. (Simons 1976: 108)

1675-1676 - War of King Phillip - Because of the tension in colonial expansionists, the war of King Philippe occurred between the settlers and the native American among New Yorkers. The bloody war was furious at the Connecticut river basin in Massachusetts State and Plymouth and Rhode Island colonies, eventually killing 600 British colonists and 3,000 indigenous peoples, including women and children from both sides. August 12, 1676, in Rhode Island swamp, king Philip (colonial nickname for Metacomet, leader of Wampanoag) was killed and killed and ended the war in South New England. In New Hampshire and Maine, Soco Indians have been settling for a year and a half.

1675: 1675 - 1677: The war of King Philippe was named after Metapom (Phillip King) of the Wampanoag tribe he called the British Philip. This war was a battle between colonialists and bloody Indians. During the war of King Philippe, one third of the Caucasian population of the United States was wiped out. This war proved to be the last battle of indigenous peoples in Massachusetts. The history of invasion in Europe brought about trends such as tuberculosis, cholera, influenza, measles, smallpox, etc. The Massachusetts state Indians did not develop immunity to these diseases, resulting in a substantial decline in the population. Exploitation of tax leverage, forced labor, slavery and so on was part of their history and influenced the Massachusetts Indians.
