<h1><span class="date">AD 1675: </span> <span class="title">Metacomet assassinated; King Philips War begins</span></h1>
<p>In the Northeast, colonists are aggressively encroaching on Wampanoag land and trying to establish settlements. Metacomet (also known as King Philip of Wampanoag) works with neighboring Wampanoags, Narragansetts, Nipmucks, Mohegans, and Podunks and leads a military action against the English. They respond violently, capturing and assassinating him. King Philips War begins.</p>
<p>After assassinating Metacomet, the colonists mutilate his body, mount his skull on a pole, and send his hands to Boston for display. Through contacts among mercenaries in the English shipping fleet, the colonists sell 500 Wampanoags into slavery. Among the enslaved are Metacomets widow and son. Many are sent to the West Indies, where they die.</p> <!-- Theme -->
