New England Puritans vs. Narragansett Natives : The Great Swamp Fight

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 23 ส.ค. 2024
- King Philip’s War was the bloodiest conflict per capita in the history of America. Increasingly demanding treaties from Puritan Settlers frayed relations with Native Tribes, and sporadic raiding attacks on settlements throughout New England kept tensions high amongst the indigenous and Puritan populations.
Assuming power after the death of his father Miantonomoh, Metacom would form a confederation of northeast tribes to band together in revolt of the Puritan treaties which sought to disarm them. Metacom would adopt the English name Philip, but his actions and words would show a marked rejection of the European settler’s ways.
In late June 1675, a series of tribal attacks on the Puritan settlement of Swansea in the Plymouth Colony would officially begin King Philip’s War. Attacks on settlements would continue for months; including the Siege of Brookfield, the Battle of Bloody Brook, and the Attack on Springfield. In these battles, the New England Confederation soldiers would gain valuable experience, and take their approach to increasingly greater levels of violence in response to the raids.
The people of South Kingstown, Rhode Island lived precariously near a sizable population of Narragansett people. The tribe had attempted to remain neutral in the war, yet overtures from Pequot sachems endeavored to lure them into the conflict.
The Puritan’s would discover that the Narragansett had been harboring refugees of the Wampanoag, one of the primary belligerents in the conflict. When their requests, and then demands that these people be turned over to them were denied, the Narragansett became the next target of the New England Confederation.
On a snow covered swamp in eastern Rhode Island in mid-December 1675, a force of over one-thousand English settlers along with one-hundred-fifty of their native Pequot and Mohegan allies would storm the hidden fortification that housed thousands of Narragansett and Wampanoag natives, resulting in one of the deadliest massacres in American history….

Another great episode.
The moral of the story is this: whenever one group tries to disarm another, resistance is the only way to survive. Not a Gaurantee, but a chance. Being disarmed is a Gaurantee of being killed. Thus says history.
I'm actually reading about this in the book Flintlock and Tomahawk : New England in King Phillip's war !
The Puritans after taking the Wampanoag stronghold found a gruesome sight , hanging from poles were several hundred European scalps of all ages !
Have read the same book.
King Phillips War was STAGGERINGLY brutal.
Doesn't help that the Catholic Church was instigating conflicts against non Catholics as they were ordered by their popes.
I was as well. Played this scenario in Blood & Plunder. I played the Natives. Historical outcome....
Great book👍
My ancestor, surnamed Fisk, served in this conflict. He served in Captain John Cutler’s company. They were charged with taking taking supplies to the cut-off settlements like Deerfield.
I'm hoping they cover the Deerfield Massacre as well.
Unfortunately, most people are unaware of king Phillips war. I appreciate that in telling your story you tell of colonial and Indian alliances against other Indian tribes. This was a situation that existed throughout the Europeans/American conflict with native people.
Finally! Some classic New England History,…!
Let’s GOOO!
This war took place some 50 yrs following the landing of the Mayflower on a spit of sand in Plymouth. The growth of European colonies in that time span was incredible.
LIFE IS GOOD. SO GRATEFUL FOR THIS PAGE 💯
Thank you from southern Rhode Island for including some of our New England history here!
Anything titled *_The Great Swamp Fight_* demands a click! Doubly so when it’s coming from a world class channel like HOKC.
Brutal truth, thank you for all your great work.
I love this channel. Just the right amount of time to cover the episode with All the facts and details. I'd say it is perfect. Thank you 💛 so very much. Please don't change anything. Ty again!
Im really enjoying these new England stories.
Greetings from Connecticut.
I'm really, really hoping that Benjamin Church gets an episode.
The dude was basically a force of nature.
You do good work.
Thank you! Cheers!
Great job with a story I know well. I commend you.
TY -We love your work, and the truth must be told. TY
Awesome!! Thank you for covering this.
Love the stories about history you tell, keep up the great work!
Hey HOKC! 👍
Been a subscriber for a couple years, you always have great content, I dig these old stories of the very old days.
Finally a story from my neck of the woods. Very interesting
nice job Im from Ma. and this is a forgotten history
Hi from old England
Hello!!
Hello from New England
I was raised in Rhode Island. I've spent many nights camping in the Great Swamp and find it the creepiest place I've ever experienced. There is definitely a presence there.
Yikes! That sounds spooky.
My eighth great grand father was George Augustus Ninigret his daughter was Queen Esther Sachem Ninigret. I am happy this story is being kept alive. The story and history of Eastern natives is virtually unknown by the majority of people in the country today.
You should do one about The Inuits against The Crees First Nations as well as Inuits against The Denes First Nations And Inuits against The Chipewen First Nations yeah.
History at the OKC and Unworthy history are my favorite history channels.
Another great story from HOKC.
I live near Marlborough Massachusetts. The welcome sign says "A Town - 1660" and "A City - 1890".
The sign leaves out "nearly destroyed by Native Americans - 1676"
Wow!
As a lifelong resident of RI… I found this fascinating.
I had never heard this story before.
Now I must go find the obelisk and learn more.💪👍🥃
Amazing the history that happened in New England
This is excellent. Can you do the Penobscott affair which led to the court martial of Paul Revere?
Paul Revere drew a sketch of King Philip that's pretty famous now. Amazing how it all ties together.
Hi from Plymouth
Hi from Bangkok
Good video 👍
Sad day for the Narragansett. I grew up near the site and had many Narragansett friends. My grandfather hauled the monument from the quarry with a team of oxen.
Interesting that Philips trouble started when part of his tribe turned against him and sought help from the colonist.
If I remember Philip was shot and killed by either a member of his own tribe or another not a colonist. I seem to remember he was accused of killing a contender, by other members of his nation who went to the colonist and asked for their help.
No. They deserved it. Maybe educate yourself on their savagery and barbarism
Most people have never heard of King Phillip's war. It was an unnecessary and gruesome war.
Seems that genocide is not uncommon in human history.
Tragic, but very true.
Sad isn't it ....
It's the way things have always been and probably always will be.
Hell yeah
Haven't watched it yet. Is this about Washington D.C. ???
Awesome!! They knew how to T.C.B. back then
Most of my mothers ancestors were from Rhode Island and Massachusettes. Could be some of them were in this fight.
ri is on the coast how come they didnt launch planes from the carriers at sea?
I was there
I moved to southern R.I. 5 years ago- knowing nothing about it's history, only decent surfing spots. After a couple of years I began to realize there was something wrong with the overwhelming negativity emminating from most of it's residents (caucasian mostly btw) . I began to feel a vibe that this place is somehow cursed- and now I KNOW why.
They would of had a big Christmas
Our narrator forgot to mention how Philip's older brother Alexander (Wamsutta) was Chief before him, and died returning from a humiliating meeting with the English where he may actually have been poisoned by them. He didn't make it home but died on the shores of Monponsett Pond near where I live in Massachusetts. His death made Philip the new Chief or King, which was an hereditary office among his people. This was also a contributing offense to the war.
Funny.
Roger Williams founded Rhode Island in 1636.
He and other Rhode Islanders seemed to get well enough along with them that they didn't need to fight them.
Makes me wonder if there was more to it than what was "claimed".
I grew up outside of Boston. I always found it disappointing that a religious group that was oppressed became an oppressive force against the people who saved them from hardship and starvation.
They were allies with several tribes. Enemy of several others. Putting modern ideals on a different world is problematic
Tell all the settlers who were the former owners of the hundreds of scalps that they found hanging up in the Native fortifications. I love how people like to frame that the brutality was just one way. The natives could be incredibly brutal, especially to each other long before the settlers came to America.
Are you a white 60 something year old divorced woman?
@@devildog835 was that comment for me devil dog? I didn’t think so.
TH-cam unsubscribed me.
Waco Siege 1.0
Thank you for telling a good story or trying to but the narration is just too cacofonias or stop and start or something
What?
He's trying to say cacophonus. Loud and noisy. Not sure why.
Thanks Christianity 👹
Wow there’s just really no way to reconcile the treatment of native Americans from the time europeans set foot on American soil. What a horrific shameful bloody history we have. How much easier would it have been to work together to learn from each other but greed and prejudice always prevailed. All they wanted was to continue their way of life like their forefathers. All we wanted was everything.
boohoo sniffle
Takes two to tango.
There is no way to reconcile how violent and brutal either parties were. Torture, mutilation, kidnapping, hostage taking, slavery, rape and murder were nothing new for these native tribes. It's quite plain to see.
Humans are violent and they always think they are on the righteous side of the cause.
Natives had been enslaving, committing genocide, and stealing each other's land and resources for 40 generations before white man came. This common narrative that people like you like to portray is a complete fairytale and a lie.
Conquered, not stolen. Just better at it.
The is no hate like Puritan love.
🩸 🩸 🩸 😅
Thats not what caused phillips war. Youre leaving quite a lot out. Phillip wanted his land back his father sold.
