New England: King Phillip’s War is the first supporting idea. * The New England Confederation put to the test during war with Indian chieftain King Phillip (Metacom)—Wampanoag Chief son of Massasoit. The impact of the war led to Native Americans effectively removed from MB, Connecticut, and Rhode Island.
The Chesapeake: Bacon’s Rebellion and the Anglo-Powhatan Wars are the second supporting idea. * Nathaniel Bacon, an aristocrat in western Virginia and member of House of Burgesses began mobilizing a militia to protect whites from Indians. Bacon’s rebels opposed to aristocrats and Indians. The Powhatan Wars were three wars fought between Virginians, and the Powhatan in the early 17th c. War resulted in a boundary being defined between the Indians and English.
The Spanish Southwest, New York and New France: the Encomienda (S.W.), the New England Confederation and the Fur Trade Dutch/French (N.Y. &N.F.) is the third supporting idea. * Amerindians forced to do unpaid labor to build roads, buildings, and other infrastructure in towns through the Encomienda System (S.W.) * The N.E.

    War between the Indians and the Colonists was unavoidable from the very moment the Pilgrims first set foot on what was to eventually become Massachusetts in 1620. As more and more settlers began arriving over the years, tension between the two began to steadily rise. The settler 's insatiable hunger for land and their increasing mistreatment of the Indians began to break down an already somewhat fragile alliance between the two. The Indians were quickly losing land and their way of life as well to these new settlers and some of them believed the only way to stop this was to go on the offensive and push back them back. The result of this was a short fought war known as King Philip 's War. Though it only lasted a little over a year, it was an exceptionally brutal war that took a huge toll life wise and had a lasting impact on both the English and the Indians for many years to come.…

    To begin with, it is interesting to point out that King Philip’s War is sometimes referred to as the First Indian War because it was one of the most violent events to occur in seventeenth-century Puritan New England, but that title is not necessarily accurate. From 1936 to 1937 the Pequot Indians raged war with settlers of the Massachusetts Bay Colony. The conflict began when, seeking to find a new trading partner, the Pequots agreed to give the English…

    The war was “the expression of an assumption central to Puritan Indian policy” (Cave 168). Afterwards, many Puritans believed that the war was “a key episode in the unfolding of God’s plan for New England” (Cave 169). The Puritans did not want Indian war and feared it, but “they also suspected that it was both necessary and inevitable” (Cave 171). Therefore, the Pequot War created the idea that Indian war, such as King Philip’s War in 1675, were actions intended to check and punish God’s people. As a result, “Puritan toleration of Indian independence was never anything more than an expedient” (Cave 173). Puritans became overbearing and Indian control of land and resources ceased. The need for Indian business decreased, considering the fact that English agriculture and industry were increasing. This “jeopardized the status of Native American communities in a New England dominated by Euro-Americans” (Cave 174). In the end, the Puritan Indian policy, which stated “ denial of the validity and viability of Native American life,” (Cave 175) created an intolerance of Indian cultures that would last many years to…

    King Philip 's War, it was one of the first and bloodiest conflicts between the colonist of New England and the Native Americans, primarily the Wampanoag Indian tribe. There were massive casualties on each side, all of which were caused by fighting and disease. King Philip 's War, had began out of almost forty years of tension between local native tribes of Massachusetts and puritan colonists of Massachusetts. Each side felt as if they had no choice but to remove the other or certain annihilation of their people would inevitably happen. Political leaders on both the Indian and Colonist side reinforce this stance of “It 's them, or us”. This massive fear, and group mentality, lead to unanimous call to action with little or no actual evidence, mainly speculation, assumptions, and…

    Native American relations. Early colonial-Indian relations were an uneasy mix of cooperation and conflict. On the other were a long series of difficult, skirmishes and wars, which almost invariably resulted in an Indian defeat and further loss of land. Although Native Americans benefitted from access to new technology and trade, the disease and thirst for land which the early settlers also brought posed a serious challenge to the Indian's long-established way of life. Those Indians who traded initially had significant advantage over rivals who did not. Some friendly natives were no longer…

    At the start of the seventeenth century, Native Americans greeted European settlers with much excitement. They regarded settlers as strange, but were interested to learn about the new tools and weapons Europeans brought with them. The native people were more than accommodating to the settlers, but as time passed, Europeans took advantage of their generosity. “Once these newcomers disembarked and began to feel their way across the continent, they forever altered the course and pace of native development.” Native Americans and Europeans faced many conflicts due to their vast differences in language, religion and culture. European settlers’ inability to understand and respect Native Americans lead to many struggles that would eventually erupt into violent warfare.…

    The Boston Tea Party was a significant event in the years leading up to the American Revolution. By 1773 tensions were mounting as British America’s relationship with Mother England became increasing strained. The British Empire has secured victory in the French and Indian Wars but had run up an incredible war debt. King George III and the British Government looked to taxing goods in the American colonies as a means to replenish its treasury. It was in this the passing of the Tea Act 1773 that ignited a standoff and brought the issue of taxation without representation in Parliament to head. As a result, the colonists took action and began overt revolt to British rule in the Americas (Boston Tea Party Historical Society). This paper will explore the incidents that led up to the Boston Tea Party and its impact on subsequent events leading up to the American Revolution.…
