King Philip's War stemmed from over 50 years of tension between New England's native inhabitants and colonial settlers competing for land and resources. Led by Wampanoag chief Metacomet, also known as Philip, the Native Americans formed a coalition with the Nipmuck, Pocumtuck, and Narraganset tribes. They faced a force of over 1,000 men from the New England Confederation, which included Plymouth, Connecticut, New Haven, and Massachusetts Bay, along with their Indian allies, the Mohegans and Mohawks. The conflict spanned Rhode Island, Connecticut, Massachusetts, and later Maine and New Hampshire, resulting in the destruction of 12 towns and attacks on over half of New England's settlements, with thousands of homes burned by Metacomet's warriors. Although the colonists emerged victorious, the war devastated the local economy, disrupted trade, and led to increased taxation, while the populations suffered greatly. The death toll ranged from 600-800 colonists and approximately 3,000 Indians, marking it as the deadliest conflict in American colonization history. This study offers a detailed account of this pivotal war, featuring maps, battle scenes, and bird's-eye views, serving as a comprehensive guide to an event that shaped the future of colonial America.
