Quoted statements from: How did the English and Native Americans relationship change over time?While Native Americans and English settlers in the New England territories first attempted a mutual relationship based on trade and a shared dedication to spirituality, soon disease and other conflicts led to a deteriorated relationship and, eventually, the First Indian War.
What caused the conflict between English settlers and American Indians in New England?At that time, millions of indigenous people had settled across North America in hundreds of different tribes. But between 1622 and the late 19th century, a series of wars and skirmishes known as the Indian Wars took place between American-Indians and European settlers, mainly over land control.
What are two Indian wars that occured in New England?Esopus Wars (1659–63), conflicts between the Esopus tribe of Lenape Indians and colonial New Netherlanders in Ulster County, New York. King Philip's War (Metacom's Rebellion) (1675–78) in New England between colonists and the local tribes including, but not limited to, the Nipmuc, Wampanoag, and Narragansett.
Which conflict had the greatest impact on Native Americans in the New England colonies?Metacom's War (1675-1676)
Thousands were killed on both sides before the English forces won the war, effectively ending most Native American resistance in New England.
