King Philip's War 1675-1676

A very bloody conflict between the Native Americans and Puritan settlers in New England.  It seriously threatened the English settlements in New England, and it was the last gasp of the New England tribes in their attempts to resist the English encroachments on their lands.


King Philip, or Metacom the leader of the Wampanoags and the resistance



The Natives used the new flintlock musket that was more effective than the colonists matchlocks.
