Unfortunately.. this has VERY little facts. My family were original settlers AND Wampanoag. I've had so many stories passed down to me.. that it drives me crazy hearing these fake stories.
Although you have many of the facts correct you do not put them into unbiased review of history. You conveniently forgot to include several important details such as the Raid on Swansea, the Siege of Brookfield, The Battle of Bloody Brook, and the burning of Springfield. Natives attacked and destroyed more settlements throughout the winter of 1675-1676 in their effort to annihilate the colonists. They attacked homes in Andover, Bridgewater, Chelmsford, Groton, Lancaster, Marlborough, Medfield, Medford, Portland, Providence, Rehoboth, Scituate, Seekonk, Simsbury, Sudbury, Suffield, Warwick, Weymouth, and Wrentham, including Norfolk and Plainville. The Lancaster raid in February 1676 was a Native attack on the community of Lancaster, Massachusetts. Philip led a force of 1,500 Wampanoag, Nipmuc, and Narragansett men in a dawn attack on the isolated village, which then included the neighboring communities of Bolton and Clinton. They attacked five fortified houses. They set fire to the house of Rev. Joseph Rowlandson and slaughtered most of its occupants-more than 30 people.The spring of 1676 marked the high point for the combined tribes when they attacked Plymouth Plantation on March 12. The town withstood the assault, but the Natives had demonstrated their ability to penetrate deep into colonial territory. They attacked three more settlements; Longmeadow (near Springfield), Marlborough, and Simsbury were attacked two weeks later. They killed Captain Pierce and a company of Massachusetts soldiers between Pawtucket and the Blackstone's settlement. They tortured several colonial men to death and buried them at Nine Men's Misery in Cumberland as part of their ritual torture of enemies. They also burned the settlement of Providence to the ground on March 29. At the same time, a small band of Natives infiltrated and burned part of Springfield while the militia was away. Finally you didn't mention the Mohawk who were traditional rivals of the Algonquian people. They launched a surprise assault against a 500-warrior band under Metacomet's command the following February. The coup de main resulted in the death of between 70 and 460 of the Wampanoags. Metacomet withdrew to New England, pursued by Mohawk forces who attacked Algonquian settlements and ambushed their supply parties. Over the next several months, fear of Mohawk attack led some Wampanoags to surrender to the colonists, and one historian described the decision of the Mohawks to engage Metacomet's forces as "the blow that lost the war for Philip" History is never one sided.
EXCELLENT job providing FACTS !!! I'm a descendant of both Original Settlers & Wampanoag & the stories passed down to me were not even close to these biased tales told on YT. 🙏🏻

Also.. Brockton was the site of the bloodiest battle, but no one ever seems to talk about it
